Organize an Action at The Home Depot Near You!

Thanks for your interest in taking action to Save Patagonia from a 5 dam scheme called HidroAysén. Actions are already happening around the country and will continue in order to pressure The Home Depot into protecting Patagonia's rivers.

Why The Home Depot?

The Home Depot is the largest buyer of timber products from the Matte Group, one of the owners of the company behind HydroAysén – a plan to build 5 big dams on the Baker and Pascua rivers in Patagonia, southern Chile. The dams and their associated transmission lines would require clearcutting and flooding of a type of forests found nowhere else in the world.

We're calling on The Home Depot to protect Patagonia and stop buying timber products from the Matte and Angelini groups.
