The Glacier Law is the target of both the national government and the mining governors.

These strategic water reserves and natural heritage are protected by the law passed 15 years ago. The intention of the Milenio administration regarding the extractive sector and the RIGI (Regional Investment Guarantee Scheme). Water Factories "Glaciers are essential because they function as water factories that supply populations beyond provincial borders. A vast web of life, including the health of our ecosystems and economic activity, depends on them. In this sense, glaciers and their periglacial environment are life-giving factories that are increasingly threatened by the climate crisis, as well as by mining interests. Changing the law means ruining one of our primary sources of water and life." But what exactly is the Glacier Law and why is it relevant? First, it is legislation that was not easy to pass. In reality, it was banned in 2008 by President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and did not become law until 2010, after strong pressure from communities, scientific leaders and social and environmental groups.
