Biased Article
Biased ArticleThe previously mentioned biased article doesn’t cite any source and, even though every Salar has some kind of flamingo population, only attempts to discredit NLC. The Ramsar Convention is only for wetlands, as stated in the previously linked article, does not apply to the desert that is the 3Q project. You can view a list of Ramsar protected wetlands here:
