Patagonia Area Resource Alliance

PARA works to protect the Patagonia mountains and sonoita creek watershed from negative impacts of industrialized mining by: 1. Holding state and federal agencies accountable for environmental laws and regulations; 2. Collaborating with strategic partners to ensure any mining activities meet the highest science-backed standards and 3. Supporting the nature-based economy dependent upon the regions rich biodiversity and cultural heritage. We strive to educate and engage the community in Patagonia and surrounding areas about the risks and realities of 21st century mining and promote local sustainable economies.
