https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/newsletter/ Kris Tompkins has spent
a lifetime fighting tooth and nail to protect wild lands. In 1993,
she stepped down as CEO of outdoor apparel brand Patagonia, and
moved to the edge of a windswept road-less fjord in the northern
end of Patagonian Chile with her late husband Doug Tompkins (the
founder of North Face). There, they began to dream up one of the
most audacious conservation visions ever conceived. It would
culminate, more than 25 years later, in the largest private land
donation in history, the creation of one of the most spectacular
national parks in the world and the launch of the wildest road trip
on the planet: the Route of Parks. This story is about the
realization of that vision.
