Entre Atacama y el norte de la Región de Magallan Entre Atacama y el norte de la Región de Magallanes, el país se está literalmente secando por la baja de precipitaciones, uno de los efectos de la crisis climática que afecta a Chile y el mundo. La conservación es clave para ayudar a contrarrestar los efectos del cambio climático y en este sentido la Ruta de los Parques juega un rol fundamental al concentrar 17 parques nacionales, con diversas reservas de agua, grandes cumbres, glaciares y ríos.

La Ruta de los Parques de la Patagonia alberga ecosistemas fundamentales que contribuyen a mitigar las consecuencias de la crisis climática y de extinción de especies.
