Communities testimonials

“Environmental Defense NGO has supported us in the strategic planning and execution of legal actions aimed at trying to stop the advance of the mega hydroelectric power station in the past Hidroñuble (136 Mw) and a mixed reservoir of irrigation and electricity generation of 1800 hectares of flooding in the San Fabián mountain range, called Punilla reservoir. Their contribution has been extremely important, because the need for legal support is enormous for socio-environmental conflicts in general and in our case in particular. Communities have great difficulties in accessing this support mainly for economic reasons and because of the shortage of legal teams that can be accessed. The vocation of Environmental Defense is genuinely oriented towards social support and environmental conservation before money. "

“We contacted the NGO Defensa Ambiental, who gave us excellent technical advice, we were lucky enough to meet them. We recommend the NGO to all socio-environmental organizations, because our fight is not only to denounce the authorities, there are laws that communities like us are not informed about and that is where it is essential to have a technical team to guide and support us. "

“We wanted a serious legal defense, and with the advice of the Environmental Defense NGO we managed to stop the harmful aquaculture projects that were trying to settle on our coasts. All this was achieved thanks to the seriousness and professionalism of the Environmental Defense NGO. As president of the committee, I recommend the use and support of the NGO for any type of fight against the slaughter zones in Chile. "

“The work, the dedication, the broad and specialized team that they have are their strong points, in addition the people who make up the NGO have shown the commitment and responsibility they have, as soon as they get involved with a job, that makes the communities also we become empowered and that makes us participate, on the other hand they have always been interested, in addition to taking cases, creating information for the community, giving them tools that allow us to have more knowledge and more commitment. That is why I recommend them, they have done well at birth and in many other places where there are sacrificial zones and where the right to live in a healthy environment free of contamination is threatened. Environmental Defense NGO has demonstrated the results. "
