L'Associazione per i Popoli Minacciati (APM) č preoccupata per le gravi conseguenze che la completa realizzazione del progetto minerario Pascua Lama potrebbe avere sulla popolazione della regione e sull'ambiente. Il progetto Pascua Lama č un progetto transfrontaliero (Cile-Argentina) che intende sfruttare giacimenti di oro, argento e rame in un zona conosciuta in Cile anche con il nome di "Giardino dell'Atacama". Il progetto della multinazionale mineraria canadese Barrick Gold, che č disposta a investire 500 milioni di dollari Usa nell'affare, inizialmente prevedeva lo spostamento dei ghiacciai millenari Toro 1, Toro 2 e Esperanza scaricando i loro ghiacci sul ghiacciaio Guanaco e andrebbe a stravolgere l'equilibrio naturale della valle del Huasco sul fronte cileno e della Riserva della Biosfera di San Guillermo, area protetta dall'Unesco, sul fronte argentino.
