Our partners at Landie recently interviewed our new Executive Director and Riverkeeper, Rocio Gonzalez. Landie is a new initiative in Chile to document stories about landscapes and people who work to bring man and nature together. Practice your Spanish and hear Rocio talk about what it means to be a resident of Futaleufu and work with the community to protect their homes.
