The purpose of this article is to elucidate the characteristics and effects of the contemporary extractive processes in the Austral Patagonia. The main idea is based on a case that has the participation of different actors with divergent interests and valuations. The follow up of this case has been done for three consecutive decades. This case analyzes the wealth of the existent theoretical contributions in order to recognize the following: a) different demands around environmental and spatial justice regarding an ecological-distributive conflict; b) the different voices that organize the positions assumed by the actors rooted into different rationalities and valuations; and c) the considerations needed in order to approach a multi-territorial process. El artículo propone dar cuenta de las características y efectos de los procesos extractivos contemporáneos en la Patagonia Austral, a partir de un caso en el que participan actores con valoraciones e intereses divergentes y que se extiende durante casi tres décadas. El caso permite analizar la riqueza de los aportes teóricos existentes para reconocer: a) las demandas en torno de justicia ambiental y justicia espacial en el marco de un conflicto ecológico-distributivo; b) las voces que organizan las posiciones de los actores, enraizadas en distintas racionalidades y valoraciones; y c) las consideraciones necesarias para abordar un proceso de carácter multiterritorial.
