People participate in a torch march in defense of glaciers in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on April 4, 2026. The demonstration begins at 6:00 p.m. at Av. Callao and Av. Corrientes, opposing proposed changes to the Glacier Law by the government. Various assemblies and environmental groups protest against extractive activities. Signs read: ''La Ley de Glaciares No Se Toca'' and ''El Agua Vale Mas Que Todo.'' The event advocates for the protection of glaciers, water, and life amid attempts to modify the law to allow mining in periglacial areas. Similar protests occur across the country, including in Cordoba (Plaza Velez Sarsfield, 4:00 p.m.), Rio Negro, Chubut, San Juan, and Tierra del Fuego. The mobilization takes place amid concerns about a possible ruling on the law next Wednesday. (Photo by Catriel Gallucci Bordoni/NurPhoto)
