He fell in love with Patagonia in his youth

in the '60s

and returned to buy land in the '90s.

He lived in Chile for 25 years and leaves

a legacy of the biggest philanthropic project

in the world.

Tompkins was a real visionary.

He built a project at a difficult time when

environmentalists were seen as eco-terrorists.

Look at that one! It's a bit snowy.

- A little bit. - Just a tiny bit.

In our opinion, he's nothing more than a businessman

masquerading as an ecologist.

On the one hand you had a crazy man,

with the dream of making a park.

And on the other hand,

you had someone who would make that dream come true

on a national level.

Alacalufes Reserve can easily be a national park

without losing any productive opportunities.

Chile is a mining country.

It's an extractive economy.

The mining industry is a pollutant.

The project is to create the national park

starting at Cabo Leon and include the nature reserve.

We have to say "we have a national park"

because national parks create their own touristic pull.

They don't want any progress.

We are a poor country,

we need the progress

to raise our standard.

The main concern of the military and the navy was

having Mr. Tompkins owning such an amount of foreign land

that went from the border to the ocean.

So he was accused of cutting the country in two pieces

The government isn't harassing him.

Well, there was a lot of suspicion.

It seemed to be the first step in acquiring cheap land

to then sell at higher prices.

So, the collective imagination gives rise to many things.

We don't believe Tompkins is a multimillionaire

who suddenly turned into a philanthropist.

The 1 or 2%, which would represent

approximately 200 families,

they felt their presence in the area was being "threatened".

They had to have

a lot of faith in what they were doing.

98% of the people would have simply given up and said,

"Impossible to live in your country"

Because we behaved, Chileans, very badly.

I'm thinking about maybe filling all of this up

but I don't want something that is too straight

Like that, and then it curves out.

That way it has a natural appearance.

Doug was convinced that a world without beauty

wasn't worth it.

The tractor driver is like an artist.

You can paint the landscape with the tractor

but you must have good technique.

Because later we are going to take a photo

and see your work, the work.

Each species plays a major role in the ecosystem.

So that guanacos are in large numbers

to provide food for pumas,

Pumas are preying on guanacos

and are providing food for scavengers.

It's not merely the recovery of a single species

it's the interaction.

The rewilding program has

our park wardens

many of them are former cowboys

but today they are monitoring pumas.

What would your father think if he could see you now...

doing all of this?

With so many pumas!

With so many pumas without killing them!

Without killing any of them!

It's a shift!

Of course it's a shift. It's a huge shift for me!

Doug died three days ago

on a trip with his best friends.

With Yvon Chouinard, his lifelong friend

with Rick Ridgeway, who also almost died

and with Weston Boyles,

the group's "little boy",

who stayed with him until the very end.

He never left him alone.

And for that I will be eternally grateful.

This person, Douglas, lived a life worth centuries.

I can't picture a life without him, but here we are.

So the new park would be

2.3 million acres.

It's another Pumalín or Corcovado.

20 million acres.

So these are

two of the first group that was released,

but they interact with the others that are wild.

So they are doing much better outside than in the pens.

Incredible!

Every time I think about this I almost cry.

Historic. It's historic.

Seriously, no one has ever done this before.

All of our best carpenters are putting up the sign!

I can't believe this!

We've been a family

for 25 years.

And we honor and love each other.

On behalf of the team,

we toast to Douglas and Pablo Carrasco."

I have a map of a place that only the gods

could have imagined.

What for Doug was a dream in 1992,

will become Pumalín National Park.

These parks belong to you.

Protect them with all your heart.

Choose life.

Choose beauty.
