Access to What's Ours
"Access to What's Ours" is a digital App and internet platform that allows people to report non-compliance with the legal obligation to allow access to freely accessible natural resources to the relevant authorities. This tool is part of the new Access 2014-2015 campaign, developed by the Ministry of National Assets in order to guarantee the access of all Chilean citizens to public goods, such as: beaches, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, river mouths and glaciers, which make up their heritage. The initiative is framed within the Decree Law 1939 of the year 1977. Up until 2016 the initiative has registered approximately 500 reports and in some cases, there has also been an improvement in access to natural resources for the general population.
