Villarrica National Park

Hi bloggers! In this post I will talk about Villarrica National Park, my favourite place to visit in my free time. This Park it located in the Araucanía región. The park has an area of 63 thousand hectares with extensive forests of araucarias and lenga in the higher parts, and raulí, long-leafed mañío and coigüe in the lower parts. All of these are native species create a woody area where several species of animals that you won’t find anywhere else live. These forest zones are home to a variety of fauna, with species like pumas, grey and red foxes, pudúes, coipos, peucos, quiques, chingues and mountain monkeys, one of the three species of marsupials which exist in Chile. The Villarrica Volcano (2.847msnm) is the area’s number one attraction and infamous as being the most active volcano in South America.
The park has several ways of access. The most beautiful path is Puesco, this is the most Andean area of the park that finally connects with Argentina. The most suitable time of year to visit the park is in summer, I do not recommend that you go in winter as the weather is extreme, even some mountaineers have been lost.

Climate Change

Hi bloggers! Today i will talk about climate change. The climate change is an alteration of the climate and this happen because the greenhouse gases increase and produce more heat. These gases are methane, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur hexafluoro.

Some evidences of climate change are increase in CO₂ concentration, melting glaciers, the glaciers and permafrost recede, rising sea level. The global temperature has increased around 0,6°C since 1990. The warming is different according to the area of ​​the planet, but in the last twenty-five years, almost all places have warmed up, while few places have cooled.

Climate change in Chile  has manifested itself in different ways: change in the type of climate throughout the territory, less snow in the mountains, less water availability for different uses at least to the south-central area and probably more frequent extreme events: droughts and floods.

What can we do to prevent global warming? We must reduce the consumption of electrical energy, limit the consumption of water, recycle glass, plastic,paper and cardboard.

The Immigrants

Hi bloggers, in this opportunity I want set out the next thematic: Immigrants in Chile. Clost to 75% of the immigrants come from Latin America from countrys as Perú, Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia y Ecuador. The majority of immigrants concentrate in Metropolitan region. In addition to coming to Chile for work opportunity, some immigrants seek a better quality of life with their families and others come to perform professionality.

In Chile govern the immigration law since 1975, the oldest immigration law in Latin America. The current law considers migration as a threat from the point of view of the internal security of the state and not as an inclusion process. The current law hinders migrant'job search and encourages informal jobs. With the current regulations Chile is losing opportunities for innovation and undertaking.

Migration is important for the economic, social and cultural development of Chile. A regularized migrant is a contribution to the country, brings innovation and entrepreneurship.

Cheers.
