Salar del Huasco

... that Salar del Huasco's (pictured) designation as a national park in 2010 was revoked in 2014? Source: Although the Huasco salt pan was declared a national park in February 2010, in February 2014 this was reversed by the Chilean Government,

Overall: Nice expansion on interesting place! Just one clarification needed about its designation as National Park (because this relates to the hook): the lead infobox says it was in "2010 or 2020". The year 2010 is discussed in the article (and hook), but nothing is said about 2020. What does this refer to? Was it re-designated in 2020? And what does "Established 2023" in the infobox mean? Please explain these various years (or remove erroneous years) and update the infobox with correct current designations/status. Thanks. P 1 9 9 ✉ 15:34, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dealt with. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:49, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the quick action. But I noticed there are further issues with the "national park" designation. The infobox still says "Salar del Huasco National Park" and intro also says "It is the centerpiece of the recently created Salar del Huasco National Park..." So is it currently a national park or not? Or explain that it was a former park along with year of disestablishment. Moreover, per WP:RECENTLY, the word "recently" should be replaced by actual year. Thanks. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 17:18, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Solved, I think? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:21, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All good. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 15:35, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please Tell Us Why It Was Made Into A Park And Why It Was Revoked[edit]

Thank you Billyshiverstick (talk) 03:30, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I came here wondering the same. Apparently it was abolished "because the process of creation lacked Indigenous people’s participation", according to a mention this paper: García, Magdalena; Mulrennan, Monica E. (2020). "Tracking the History of Protected Areas in Chile: Territorialization Strategies and Shifting State Rationalities". Journal of Latin American Geography. 19 (4): 199–234. doi:10.1353/lag.2020.0085.

It appears it was re-established as a national park in 2023, according to this article, which I think is a government press release. This would explain some of the discrepancies in raised in the DYK review. Jo-Jo Eumerus, does this track what you've otherwise found? --Paul_012 (talk) 15:52, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can see, when SdH was declared a national park at first there was a spate of complaints that it had happened w/o input from the local indigenous people, who need the salar and its resources. So it was rescinded. I actually missed that it had been re-declared ... but apparently none of the newer sources discuss the new designation together with the old one, creating confusion.
