    Greenpeace calls on Mitsubishi not to move salmon farms to Magallanes region in Chilean Patagonia

    “Chile is home to 36% of world's marine mammal diversity, which is why protection of its seas is key and of great relevance to the entire planet”

    Greenpeace has urged Japanese conglomerate Mitsubishi to stop expanding its salmon farming operations in Magallanes, as part of its new global campaign focused on protecting the seas of Chilean Patagonia. The launch of the campaign, “Save the seas at the end of the world,” brought together people and activists who gathered in lighthouses along Chile's nearly 4,000 kilometres coastline to claim protection for ecosystems of the southern seas.
