REPORTER (over TV):
Douglas Tompkins died Tuesday

in an accident in Chile.

He was a
passionate conservationist.

REPORTER: He fell in love
with Patagonia in his youth

in the '60s

and returned
to buy land in the '90s.

REPORTER: He lived in
Chile for 25 years and leaves

a legacy of the biggest
philanthropic project

in the world.

MAN: Tompkins was
a real visionary.

He built a project at a
difficult time when

environmentalists were
seen as eco-terrorists.

KRIS: I mean, Doug
was a big personality.

He dies suddenly.

Everybody thinks...

they didn't know what to think.

Would I fall apart?

If I fell apart
the game was over.

We would lose 25
years of our work.

People had no idea if I was
going to come back or not.

I lost the love of my life.

I was seriously wounded,
on my knees.

I get a note from a
friend who says,

"You have to make a choice

and you have
to make it right now.

You can live off this story.

You can tell everybody
about this life you had

and mourn Doug for
the rest of your life.

Or you can go work,
and don't stop.

What are you gonna do?"

And that was a choice.

JIMMY: No way!

KRIS: What year is that Rick?

RICK: '78.

JIMMY: Rick's going to
drag us up the mountain.

Um, so I brought
you a different ax.

It's a lot lighter.

Or, I mean, I brought many
axes for myself and Pablo.

KRIS: So this is, this is it?

JIMMY: Or you could take
one of these, which is...

KRIS: I'd rather, I think
I'd rather have the long one.

JIMMY: Okay.

RICK: Time to go.

JIMMY: After Doug had passed,
Rick called and asked me if

I wanted to join him and
Kris on a climbing trip.

You know, he told me that Kris
really wanted to go and climb,

climb that mountain.

I just thought, yeah,
that makes sense.

I can see why.

It's a really special mountain.

RICK: Okay,
there's our mountain.

KRIS: Oh, god.

(laughing)

No, really.

I'm sorry, but oh my God.

Look at that.

It's a bit snowy.

KRIS: A little bit.

KRIS: This is the farthest
I've been inside this park.

We never saw this.

I mean, we fly a lot, but

we never got on
the ground enough.

We didn't really explore.

We just worked.

This is a real
wake up call for me.

In the very beginning,

Doug and I were living in the
middle of this paradise,

and we said it would be
incredible to save this place.

Just save it.

Because of climate and
all these other things,

right now on any scorecard,
nature is losing.

What can you do
today to try to save

the critical areas
of the planet?

INTERVIEWER: What
was your vision?

What did you come here for?

DOUG: We sort of started to
make a master plan and started

to realize it was possible
to create a national park

under a private initiative.

With the idea that we would
donate it back to the country.

NEWSPERSON: The ultimate
do it yourself approach to

saving the earth: buying it.

REPORTER: Tompkins and his wife,
Kris, have assembled land

for conservation on a
scale never seen before.

DOUG: Yeah, this is
like the size of

Yosemite National Park, here.

INTERVIEWER: So that volcano
over there, you bought that?

DOUG: Yeah, that came with it.

(laughs).

NEWSPERSON: Some people here
began asking just what were

these Americans really up to?

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

masquerading as an ecologist.

MICHELLE: I think in Chile,
many people did not understand

at the beginning what
being an ecologist meant.

Some people wanted it to be a
place to invest, to invest,

to produce energy
with the river.

Some others wanted
to cut the forest.

KRIS: We didn't know
there were stakes,

that was part of the problem.

INTERVIEWER: Former president
of Chile has accused your

husband of throwing
people off the land.

It has been reported that you
also have gotten death threats.

KRIS: We had death threats
for years, the phones tapped.

No, there were huge stakes.

For 25 years, I really put
the shoulder to the wheel,

and did everything to make what
Doug wanted to do, possible.

This is what you were
talking about this morning.

Is all of this.

DOUG: See, I underlined that a
long time ago because somebody

told me that
place was for sale.

I came down to Chile in 1990,

bought a house and
was fixing it up.

You know, we bought a piece
of land, not with the idea of

making any large park.

But then another piece became
available and then a very big

piece came available.

And pretty soon we had
the makings of a park.

DAGO: 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.

KRIS: She says I want to fly
with you but don't fall...

Don't crash,
don't crash.

EDGAR: There was a
deep, deep union and

devotion to each other.

They came together with a
common vision and they

fought like cats in a bag.

DOUG: We can
bicker with each other.

KRIS: No, I think it's a
desire to work against the

trend of the
destruction of wild nature.

I think that is as big a bond
and strong a bond as any

two people can have.

TIMMY: Yeah.
Sounds good.

JIMMY: How you doing, Kris?

KRIS: I'm okay.

JIMMY: Good.

KRIS: I always said I want
to live at one end of the

spectrum or the other,
but never in the middle.

And before I died,
I wanted this life.

I didn't know what this was,
but I knew I wanted something

wild, outrageous.

Risky in the sense of

changing everything that
was so comfortable.

Doug would be so
happy for me,

and proud of me to walk up there

and see what the highest
place in the park looks like.

For me, this is a way to
say a final goodbye to him.

Doug made the first ascent of
this mountain back in 2008.

He was a climber, and it
was always his first love.

Doug grew up in the Northeast.

He started climbing in the Gunks
when he was in middle school.

He had no interest in school.

Never went to college.

He found it a worthless way to
spend your life: conforming.

He just rejected all of it.

And left.

YVON: Doug eventually ended
up in Yosemite and climbing in

the valley and stuff, and
I climbed with him there.

We became just,
really good friends.

KRIS: Years later, it was
Yvon who eventually brought

Doug and me together.

JIMMY: Doug and Yvon
were best friends and

lifelong climbing partners.

They were both
world class climbers.

I mean, these were the
original dirtbag climbers and

surfers and skiers.

Who would go on to create the
outdoor clothing business

as we know it.

KRIS: Doug really
looked up to Yvon,

and that relationship
changed over the 50 years.

And Yvon really listened to
Doug when they entered into

their business lives.

YVON: Somehow he talked
himself in getting the

franchise for a hot
dog stand in Yosemite.

He ran a hotdog
stand and climbed.

He was an entrepreneur.

And if you want to
understand the entrepreneur,

study the juvenile delinquent.

Because they're
saying this sucks,

I'm going to do it my own way.

And you know, Doug
became a businessman

before anybody else.

I mean, I was a blacksmith and
I was making climbing gear,

but I didn't consider myself a
businessman until way later.

I was climbing six months
a year and I started

making climbing gear.

I was growing the business in
all the normal ways,

but we had a lot
of different ideas.

And so we had this
policy of basically,

work when you have to work

and play when you have to play.

And when the surf
comes up, take off.

Go surfing.

And that's when I met Kris.

MELINDA: Kris was
Yvon's next door neighbor.

She was probably 15 or
16 when I first met her.

She was
extraordinarily friendly.

She loves to talk.

She loves to do things,
but she's very meticulous.

KRIS: We, grew up on our
great grandfather's ranch

in California.

When I was eight, my father
and his oil company

decided to go to Venezuela.

Little Hamlet in
the Orinoco Basin.

My father became very
ill one afternoon and

he was dead five days
later of bulbar polio.

After our father died, our
mother remarried to our

really close family friend.

He was a real go-getter
and he had four kids.

So there were seven of us.

And we were
called the hooligans.

We were wild.

My father wanted his kids
to be the ones who'd fling

themselves off the
high diving board.

Nothing was impossible.

And I was the one who
responded to all of that.

The thing that was asked of us
was, be great at what you do.

I don't care what it is,
but be great at it.

♪ ♪

I refused to go to
private school,

but the local high school

was such a bad high school

that I started going
to the beach and

hanging out with an older
brother and Yvon Chouinard.

This is when I'm 15 years old.

He was absolutely
clear about who he was.

On the other hand, I am much
more like a pebble in a stream

and it just kind of knocks
along, gets moved down river,

and I get hooked on one
rock and then maybe a little

current takes me out
and keeps me going.

Anyway, I came home from
my first year at college

and my mother sat
me down and said,

"You have to get a job."

So I went to Yvon and
I was complaining and

he hired me for the
summer for $2 an hour.

YVON: So she started working
for me as an assistant packer.

(laughs).

Assistant packer?

That's as low as you can get.

Hah!

She just kind of worked
her way up the company,

and we slowly learned how
to run a business together.

Doug had started his
own business as well.

DOUG: We started
a guide service.

California Mountaineering
Guide Service, it was called.

And that became the reason
that I started the North Face.

I needed equipment to
supply the clients

to the guide service.

KRIS: It was about this
time that Doug met Susie.

DOUG: My first wife,
Susie, I met hitchhiking.

She picked me up hitchhiking.

SUSIE: One day I'm driving on
an in an area called Emerald Bay

in Lake Tahoe and
there's this guy hitchhiking.

So I stopped and picked
him up, and he had ropes

and he had all
his climbing gear.

He was so arrogant.

I just remember thinking,

What a jerk this guy is,

but there's something
kind of cool, too.

Eventually we got married.

We lived in North Beach
in San Francisco.

When we opened the North Face,
we invited this group called

the Grateful Dead to
play at our opening.

Doug had a great
time building it out

and it was really beautiful.

KRIS: He created this unique
environment to sell different

kind of clothing and
climbing equipment.

SUSIE: The North Face kept
growing and then Doug got very

restless because he wanted to
go away and go climbing

and not be tied down.

And so, we sold it.

YVON: At that time,
Susie had started Esprit.

She was in partnership
with another woman.

SUSIE: We'd been out selling
off of these very, very

amateur samples we had made.

And so I remember
showing him the orders.

Doug just looked at it and
kind of shook his head and

was just like, "Wow,
there's an opportunity!"

We were in business.

So then Esprit became a big
label, and then we took off.

DOUG: Really built
the Esprit company up.

Eventually expanded
internationally with a lot of

partners all around the world,

from Asia to
Australia to Europe.

(horse nickers)

KRIS: We're here in the middle
of what will hopefully become

Patagonia National Park.

But what's going
to happen to this?

It's one thing to
have a big idea,

but it's quite another thing

to be able
to realize it.

And that's where it takes
working really closely

with the government.

This park is one
of five new parks.

In every case, we've bought
significant territory and

proposed to the government
to partner with us

and contribute additional
federal lands.

DOUG: Alacalufes Reserve
can easily be a national park

without losing any
productive opportunities.

RICK: It would be so wonderful
if all these projects were

ever to actually become
fledged national parks.

Being convinced that that was
actually going to happen

was another thing.

CAROLINA: Chile has been a
country totally based on

extractive economy.

It is said that mining
is the salary of Chile,

it is more than
60% of our exports.

Today, Chile is the world's
largest copper producer and

the second largest
lithium producer.

DOUG: Chile is a mining country.

It's an extractive economy.

The mining
industry is a pollutant.

RODRIGO: The politicians
economical sense was to

exploit those
lands and the forests.

So, you know, the people that
were at the government at the

time didn't get the
idea of the park.

YVON: In Latin America,

there's no history
of land philanthropy.

So here comes this
wacko American,

goes down there and he says,

I'm gonna buy up all
this land in Chile,

and I'm gonna make parks and

I'm gonna give it
back to the people.

And they're going,
come on, nobody does that.

(laughs).

No, there's gotta
be another reason.

(chatter)

KRIS: Doug started
coming down here in 1961.

He was ski racing, and
all ski racers trained

in the off season.

So that's how he began to
understand what Argentina and

Chile were like.

And he really liked
it from the beginning.

So he had this love
affair with Patagonia.

YVON: It was his idea
to go down to Patagonia.

So we took off
two weeks later.

We bought an old van, filled
it up with skis and surfboards

and climbing gear.

Driving, I don't know,
10,000, 12,000 miles

or whatever it is.

It was a great adventure.

JIMMY: Super legendary trip.

I mean, they
defined an entire era.

They defined an
entire way of life.

Climbing, surfing,
skiing un-skied peaks.

And eventually climbing one
of the most difficult and

significant first
ascents of their time.

YVON: We spent 60 days
trying to climb Fitz Roy.

We spent 31 days
in an ice cave.

I think we had five days where
you had climbable weather.

DOUG: I was gone for,
you know, nine months.

Yvon Chouinard, an old
friend of mine and

three other friends.

We were in Chile
a very long time.

YVON: We fell in love
with Patagonia, the area.

That was my first
time in Patagonia.

It was like the American
West of 100 years ago,

but it was authentic.

So that trip was long
enough so that we really,

it transformed our lives.

RICK: When Yvon came down to
Patagonia, the place, in 1968

with Doug Tompkins to
climb Fitz Roy, it was wild.

Then we went back
exactly 20 years later.

And, it was different.

YVON: Look at this,
they got the streets all

laid out and everything.

MAN: They'll be opening up
a McDonald's and a Wimpy's.

(laughs).

RICK: The developers had laid
out the grid and put up the

street signs for what
became the city of Chaiten.

We also began to notice,

way back, a long time ago,

that things were warming up.

We became aware that
the glaciers were

starting to retreat.

We started to learn
more about climate change.

And Doug was like the first
guy to, to really sense that.

EDGAR: I think it was a
dual aspect of his voracious

reading and his being
introduced to certain people

who led him to other books.

YVON: He got very much
involved with deep ecology and

it was a natural fit because
all these deep ecologists

were all climbers.

They saw nature
being destroyed and

if we destroy nature,
we destroy ourselves.

KRIS: Deep ecology is
simply looking at all life

as being interconnected.

All life has intrinsic value.

It is not reliant on
humans placing value on it.

YVON: After being down
in Patagonia, I thought,

I want to make clothing for
the conditions down there.

KRIS: Yvon said, "I want
to make some jackets."

"I want to call it Patagonia."

YVON: Patagonia. It's one
of those magical names.

And the label that
we came up with

has got that skyline
of Fitz Roy.

KRIS: For one reason or
another, he said to me,

you should take this on.

I ended up creating it,
running it, growing it.

MELINDA: Yvon has
lots and lots of ideas,

but he doesn't know
how to get there.

And Kris could do it and she
also didn't do the bad ideas.

That's the important part.

YVON: She was driven
and very confident.

Eventually she was our
CEO and general manager.

KRIS: Once Patagonia got going,

it was, especially for its day,
really a freight train.

And then in the early 80s,

Yvon decided that we
should take Patagonia,

and turn it into an
activist company.

YVON: I was building my
business and I was getting

concerned about
the environment.

I felt like I was going to
push my business to be

more and more responsible.

But Doug didn't do that.

He was strictly building it
as big as you possibly could.

PHOTOGRAPHER: Okay Fred Astaire,
go ahead.

NEWSPERSON: Tompkins is
not a fashion designer.

The Esprit look is
created by his wife Susie.

But everything else having to

EDGAR: Esprit had its
own apartment in Milano.

Esprit had an
apartment in Paris.

Esprit had an apartment in
New York City and Tokyo.

You'd walk into the house and
see a Francis Bacon triptych

worth $5 million
sitting above the fireplace.

The heyday of Esprit was when
he was totally devoted and

totally into being the
worldwide entrepreneur

of a fashion mega business.

And then there was the change.

(clicks tongue)

DOUG: I think it
really changed a lot.

I just, you know, passed
through that gate somewhere

towards the end
of the late 80s.

And I just said, I've
got to do something else.

KRIS: I think he felt lost.

He was lost by his own hand.

DOUG: First order of business
in the fashion industry is to

create the sense of desire,

that you needed new things.

And I started to realize
I shouldn't be doing that

because I was just adding to
the destruction of the world.

EDGAR: So in the latter years
of Esprit their catalogs and

the copy in them is
trying to talk you out of

buying the clothes.

SUSIE: I mean, you can't do
that and still, you know,

try to figure out how you're
going to pay everybody and

move your company forward.

In the early 90s, I just
couldn't take it anymore

and the company was struggling
and I had to just make a

decision that I had
to try to save Esprit.

RICK: He and Susie had
split and they had to

split the company as well.

She bought him out and it was
because he was interested in

heading in new directions.

PETER: He got to go back
to where he was,

the last time he was
really happy probably,

which was Patagonia.

♪ ♪

LITO: I think it was
a big transition,

but one that was
important to him.

He was the same guy,
but a different guy.

I think a more
interesting guy, actually.

RICK: Moving to South America
to commit to a project that

seemed like a
dream of some sort.

Because that was his mantra:
commit and then figure it out.

And that's
exactly what he did.

He committed
everything he had.

CAROLINA: He didn't
come here with a plan.

When he came to Chile
he just wanted to get out

of the Esprit business.

And being a pilot, he realized
that all the farms were owned

by absentee owners.

So he bought, you know, little
farms from small farmers that

they wanted to move on.

Doug bought that 800
hectare farm, Renihue.

DOUG: Well, right actually,
where we're sitting right now,

I lived here
for a year and a half.

This right here was the living
room and the kitchen,

and dining room while I
fixed up the old main house

across the way.

And it was, you know,
no electricity,

we have ten feet by eight feet,

or 12 feet by eight feet.

And the, uh,
yeah, you know...

YVON: Whatever.
DOUG: Whatever that is.

(laughs).

You've got two bedrooms,
this is a two bedroom house.

EDGAR: He had a body of money.

It wasn't billionaire money.

It was a chunk, a big chunk.

Like 150 million.

And he could do a thing
and he chose a thing.

CAROLINA: Our first approach
was to protect that land.

But in those areas, where
there that was the possibility,

was to build
demonstrative farms.

Farms where we could show
ourselves, first of all,

and then the rest of the people
that maybe it was possible to

live in this area,
not cutting the trees,

that that wasn't your only
choice of living there.

So we start in the farms,
we planted berries,

developed honey,
and we made jams,

and we had the sheep
and we got the wool.

And with the wool we created
a network of hand knit craft.

Was that profitable?

No, it wasn't.

You know, every time we sold a
jar of honey, we gave you $5,

Doug used to say that.

But he said he could do that.

He could choose to be
ecologically sustainable

and maybe not
economically sustainable.

And we had the chance to
provide work for many people.

YVON: He used to rag on me in
that I should sell my company

and do the same
thing he's doing,

that he's doing the right thing

and I'm doing the wrong thing.

And I wanted to run my company
in a responsible way,

hanging on to my company
and using it as a tool.

To do that, I said, okay
we got to reassess

what we're doing here.

Our new mission statement is

'We're in business
to save our home planet.'

And so I took a
dozen of our top people

of the company and went
down to Patagonia.

And that's when Doug
met Kris, that same trip.

♪ ♪

KRIS: We were in Calafate,

which was then a
really tiny town.

We were in this restaurant
and in walks Doug Tompkins.

And he comes over and he
plunks himself down next to me

and says, Boom!

"Hey, kid, how you doing?"

And then he says,
this is classic Doug,

he said, "What are you doing?"

I said, "Well, we're
leaving tomorrow morning."

"Why are you leaving?"

"This is the end
of this trip."

"Yeah, but why?
Why don't you stay?

In fact, why don't you stay,

and I'll fly you back
to the United States."

So I just said, "No,
and don't ask me again.

I'm not going to fly."

And then he started calling
me from San Francisco

once I was back and he was back.

"Well, what are you doing?"

Well, I'm, you know.

I was involved with
someone else,

but I knew that
that was cascading.

And he's pretty charming.

He was very charming.

RICK: Doug called
me up and said,

"Hey, you know that
friend of yours, Kris?

She's a good, buddy
of yours, right?"

And I just go, "Oh, yeah.

She's one of my
closest friends.

She's godmother to all
three of my children."

And he goes, "Yeah.
What do you think of her?"

So I, you know I told
him how great she was.

And then literally the same
day Kris calls me up and goes,

"Hey that guy friend of
Yvon's, Doug Tompkins.

You've been climbing with
him for a while now, yeah?

But you know what..

What kind of guy is he?

Do you know him very well?"

And I went "Oh!"

YVON: I know my wife when she
heard that Doug was interested

in Kris was going,
"Oh my god, it's a disaster."

Because she knew how he had
treated women in the past.

EDGAR: Doug was a wild,
young, bon vivant

with many, many liaisons.

And when Kris was talking
to people about,

'Is this a good thing?'

And people who
knew Doug said,

"No, Doug's changed,
this is going to be good.

Doug's changed."

Other women are going,

"Oh, man, you don't want him
to get near him, this is crazy."

RICK: There was a part of
Doug that was like an ass.

So we were a
little bit nervous.

KRIS: I started working
with Yvon, I was so young.

I think 23 years of that.

I just, I just thought,

I can't, I don't want
to do this anymore.

I was done.

I was done with my life.

Most people think of it,
when I say those things,

that I'm always talking
about Patagonia.

That's not what
I'm talking about.

I'm talking about me.

My life was over.

I had to change it.

I just thought there has to
be something else out there,

something bigger.

Doug would call me
from time to time.

And one night I said, "Well,
I'm going to go to Paris to

work out of the Paris office."

And he goes, "Great.
I'll see you over there."

And true to his form,
he's in Paris.

We go out to dinner, his
favorite restaurant in Paris.

And we're walking around,
walking all around Paris.

He said, "Come
see me in Chile."

I said, "No.
Absolutely not.

You're a world
famous sandbagger."

And he stopped and
looked down at his feet,

and then looked
back up at me and said,

"I will never let anything
happen to you."

It was one of those moments that
you see somebody transform,

even in their own mind.

I mean, much later, he said he
knew exactly, that was it,

and so did I.

I thought to myself,

"that's the man I was
supposed to marry."

But it was crazy,
really crazy.

I was engaged to
another person,

so I ended up
leaving that fiancé.

Then I went down to Chile to
visit with Doug for ten days

and I stayed five weeks.

It was chemistry.

When, um, you get
hit by lightning.

I'm going to
leave my role as CEO.

I'm going to
leave my role as CEO.

And we are currently looking
for someone to replace me.

My hope is to have someone in
place by October, train them,

have them shadow me day
to day for three months.

And then January 1st, I bug
out and likely go to Chile,

which is where I'm
thinking that my home will be.

I mean, I blew up my whole...

(laughs).

It was scandalous.

I just blew up
my personal life.

But I was right.

It turned out to
be the great thing.

And it was a big
leap of faith.

I mean, it could easily
have gone either way.

This was insane,
what we were doing.

KRIS (over radio): This is
Doug's and my first date.

I just remember thinking,
"Oh, God, what have I done?"

And this farm where
we're headed now,

was absolutely cut off.

KRIS: April 4th, 1994.

Incredible
property Doug has here.

Entire peninsula.

Beautiful glaciers.

Falls, rivers.

April 5th, 1994.

Ice on our sleeping
bags in the morning.

Incredibly clear
and beautiful.

We head south through
Coyhaique Forest.

Sleep at Hotel Nires,

no dinner,

and snuggle to sleep.

May 20th.

Storm now at
fourth day, no let up.

Water being pushed into the
house for force of the winds.

Up at 2 A.M. to tie
down the chimney

and kill a giant rat.

No chance of leaving.

MELINDA: There were
no telephones,

no way to get in and
no way to get out.

So she was isolated with Doug.

KRIS: We're in our 40s and we
want to do all of these things

and they're big and
they're difficult and

there's not a lot of
history out there

of other people doing them.

So you don't, you're sort of
making it up as you go along.

And it was a new marriage.

You just hope that the fibers
of that marriage can withstand

the pressures of working
together, living together

in these intense circumstances.

♪ ♪

(singing in Spanish)

(applause)

CAROLINA: At the beginning,
the first part was to make

a nature sanctuary.

It was a way to
protect the land.

But some year along the way,
uh, Doug and Kris developed

this idea of creating national
parks and our work took a

really big shift then.

KRIS: So this is
where we got started.

This is where we were living.

And all of this section became
Pumalín, from the border with

Argentina all the way out
to the Pacific Ocean.

This is the first one.

We bought 763,000 acres
and it increased from there.

None of this is
ever done in a vacuum.

We go out immediately and
talk to everybody, mayors,

everybody involved.

So there's a lot of suspicion.

And many times a
lot of pushback.

DOUG: We're coming to
talk to the mayor here.

We want to explain to her what
the idea of donating this land

that's out in her district.

I think that, you know,
she'll be supportive of this,

she understands
about conservation.

MAN: The project is
to create the national park

starting at Cabo Leon and
include the nature reserve.

DOUG: We have to say
"we have a national park"

because national parks create
their own touristic pull.

KRIS: In this area, this is
all temperate rainforest.

It's impenetrable.

So the opposition was largely
from the federal government

at this point.

This is where five years of
serious political and

social conflict took place.

INTERVIEWER: What is it
you don't like about

Douglas Tompkins' project?

JAIME: They don't
want any progress.

We are a poor country,

we need the progress

to raise our standard.

RODRIGO: We were coming from
a dictatorship in the country

for 20 years,

so there's a hardcore
right wing politicians

that wouldn't understand
the philanthropy.

NEWSPERSON: Chile is a country
that has good reason to be

suspect of Americans.

(explosion)

In 1973, the Nixon
administration supported

the coup that began 17 years
of brutal dictatorship

under General Augusto Pinochet.

Yet when the Tompkins began
assembling cheap wilderness

land for conservation here,

they were stunned to be
labeled ugly Americans.

ANDRES: To be fair, at the
same time, you know,

Chile is a very long and
very thin country.

And Doug and Kris were
buying a lot of land,

which, you know, amounted to

a good chunk of
one of Chile's regions.

PEDRO: 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

EDGAR: Now the right wing
in Chile was going

through the roof,

trying to figure out
ways to deal with this.

KRIS: March 13, 1995.

Virtually every
newspaper around Chile and

all television stations
covering us last night

and again this morning.

Heavy attacks from
the ultra right wing

and the salmon industry.

We were taking up
the fight against

commercial salmon farming.

DOUG: These are fish farms.

These are the equivalent
of uh, hog farms.

You go down to the ocean floor,
you'll see underneath

these cages here, a dead sea.

Marine ecology
has been smothered.

Nothing's living
under these cages.

CAROLINA: The sea lions would
go towards the cages to eat.

So we used to find sea lions
dead with gunshots on the beach.

KRIS: Doug put a
wanted dead or alive.

We'll give anyone $2500
that leads to the guy

who's killing the sea lions.

And that was
just gas on a fire.

April 21st, 1995.

More attacks in the
newspaper against Doug and me.

It's beginning to seem a
clear threat to our life here.

October 17th.

Phones tapped for sure now.

New allegations against us
coming from the military.

Wondering what will fall next.

Worried for Doug's safety.

YVON: They had to hide out
in the American embassy

for a while.

They had death threats.

The FBI told us, my wife and I,
that our phone was tapped.

You know, we were
friends of the Tompkins.

BELISARIO: The government
isn't harassing him.

CLAUDIO: 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.

MICHELLE: At that time I
was minister, yes, minister.

And I was
studying defense issues.

And the military had
all kinds of theories,

that this was Israel
who was trying to

take power of
Chile, etc., etc..

KRIS: We were accused of
creating a new nuclear waste

site for the United States,

a new Jewish state,

even though we were
raised as Anglicans,

a new base for the
Argentine military

to come in and finish
Chile off once and for all.

A really good one was that
we were going to take all the

cattle out of southern Chile
and replace it with

American bison.

INTERVIEWER: Between the two
of you with all your projects

in Chile and Argentina, how
many acres are we talking?

DOUG: About 2 million.

INTERVIEWER: 2 million?

KRIS: Yeah, just
under 2 million.

INTERVIEWER: It's an
awful lot of acres.

KRIS: It's peanuts.

If you weigh it against what's
being saved on an annual basis

versus what's been destroyed.

We're on the losing team.

We're losing wilderness at the
rate of 40 million acres a year.

At this rate, we'll lose
all wilderness within

the next 50 years.

People can say, "Oh, the
Tompkins have protected over

2 million acres of land."

And it is a lot of land,

but it's a drop in the
bucket compared to

what's taking place every day,

whether it's in the
forests in Indonesia

or grasslands in Eastern Africa,
wherever it is.

It's not as though we
are gaining ground.

We're just trying to
hold back the onslaught.

We're at this perfect storm of
rising human population base,

rising consumption and a
fall in natural resources.

And yet anybody who could
really change some of that,

they're unwilling to because
the cultural impact of those

changes is just too
much for them to consider.

When we tried to make
Corcovado Park,

we ran straight
into the military.

A lot of what would eventually
become the park was

owned by the military.

And they were using the
area as a bombing range.

Doug was meeting with Generals
to try to convince them to

preserve this place
and stop the bombing.

Before we go to the government
to make an offer,

we're completely prepared
saying this is what

we have invested in the land.

(speaking Spanish)

We said to the government,

we'll donate our park with
all the infrastructure

if you match one of our acres
with up to nine acres of

unused federal land.

That leveraging allows us to
do something much greater than

what would have been possible
for us to do by ourselves.

Patagonia Park was another
very contentious project.

We bought several thousand
acres in Argentina and then we

bought an old estancia,
and 200,000 acres in Chile.

We had an idea that this park
could eventually go across the

border to Argentina,

to protect a couple of
million acres in total.

In the case of the
nearby communities,

it was by and large
a ranching story.

And some people were upset
that we would be taking one of

the largest ranches in
Chile out of production.

And when we got to Ibera, it
was incredibly challenging.

REPORTER (over TV): Some
residents say that they've

been displaced and then
ignored by the people they

sometimes refer
to as eco-barons.

WOMAN: We don't believe
Tompkins is a multimillionaire

who suddenly turned
into a philanthropist.

KRIS: There were also disputes
about land deeds and titles

around Pumalín.

CLAUDIO: The 1 or 2%,
which would represent

approximately 200 families,

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

KRIS: We spent five years going
out and getting everyone their

land titles, so that they
would be comfortable,

so there would be
no question about

what's yours and
what belongs to the park.

DOUG: I'll say that we're as
good as anybody in the country,

uh, about how we have
dealt with land disputes.

NEWSPERSON: Is that the
one that hurts the most?

DOUG: That's the one that
hurts the most because, um,

it's been just the
absolute opposite.

KRIS: It wasn't only
individuals and some

politicians who were opposed,

but there were some
institutions as well.

NEWSPERSON: Opposition to the
Tompkins is being fermented

by none other than
the Catholic church.

This is the missing
link of Pumalín Park.

30,000 hectares of land owned
by the Catholic Church

known as Winai.

Douglas Tompkins came
this close to getting Winai.

DOUG: What happened was,
pressure was put on the

Catholic University not to
sell to us, and they sold to

the power company,

to Endesa, the
big power monopoly.

NEWSPERSON: That would seem
pretty spiteful thing to do.

DOUG: It was, it was.

KRIS: Okay, but this property
down on Lago General Carreras,

are we buying that?

DOUG: Yeah.

PEDRO: 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.

KRIS: February 25th,
everyday more news to bear.

Doug completely overpowered
with anger and frustration.

And my nerves are frayed.

Why are we doing this?

I go home to serious
confrontation,

a lot of crying, honesty
and a loving response.

DOUG: 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: I believe
in public access.

We have to build public
access infrastructure.

You have visitor centers,
you have campgrounds,

even hotels, parking areas,

trails, trailheads,

offices for administration,
signage.

You've got all that kind
of stuff that goes into

making up a national park.

(speaking Spanish)

RICK: He was such
a perfectionist.

When he ran Esprit he had a
little sign above his desk

that said,
"no detail is small."

DAGO: Doug was convinced
that a world without beauty

wasn't worth it.

KRIS: You have to remember
that for Doug,

these are canvases.

And what he did do is
he created a dogged,

relentless pursuit of beauty.

DOUG: 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.

KRIS: When we first began to
work in Chile and Argentina,

we thought we were just
protecting vast territories.

But in fact,
it's like they say,

landscape without wildlife
is just scenery.

Everything changed
when we got to Ibera.

We realized that a lot of
species were missing

from the jaguars
all the way down.

We were no longer
in the business of

making National Parks.

We were in the
business of creating

fully functioning ecosystems.

Time to rewild.

Simply put, rewilding is
bringing back the species

that belong in a place but have
been lost for whatever reason.

Poaching, hunting,
grazing of livestock.

CRISTIÁN: 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.

KRIS: Arcelio was the son
of the Chief Puma hunter.

So he would go out
with his father

and they were paid a salary,

but they were paid a bonus for
every skin they brought back.

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

doing all of this?

With so many pumas!

ARCELIO: With so many
pumas without killing them!

KRIS: Without killing
any of them!

It's a shift!

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

DOUG: From an ethical
standpoint, we have to serve

biodiversity as a principle.

We have to share the
planet with other creatures.

That means we have to
make habitat available for

evolution to
continue to unfold.

We are squeezing out creatures

from their habitat
by over-expanding.

It's a self defeating
development and

that's what we find
is pathological.

That we're continuing to
expand and expand and expand

until the inevitable collapse.

Lolo, why did we never

DOUG: Life flies by.

YVON: Yeah.

KRIS: I had talked Doug
into going on this trip,

well at first, and then he
became enthusiastic about it.

RICK: We thought it'd be fun
to do a sea kayak trip of this

big lake not far from the
Patagonia National Park.

KRIS: We took them all to
the lake and they spent hours

getting all their boats ready.

Let's go honey!

MELINDA: They were
world class kayakers,

but they hired somebody
to put a trip together.

KRIS: They took
the Zodiac out,

then put their
boats in the water.

RICK: Doug and I
were in a double kayak.

Yvon and Weston
were in singles,

and Jeb and Lorenzo
were in another double.

The fourth day the wind
really started to come up.

MELINDA: The wind was
blowing eight foot waves

every which direction.

RICK: We're having trouble
with the rudder of this boat

that we had borrowed.

It was really getting
increasingly difficult for

Doug and me to keep our
boat pointed downwind.

This wave hit us, all of
the sudden we're upside down.

And so I said to Doug,

"God I wonder if we should
try to swim for it.

Because if we get out in
the middle of a lake,

we're dead, for sure."

And then we both said, "Okay,
let's try and go for it."

I thought, you know, I've
probably got 10 minutes left.

You can only stay alive
in water that cold for

a half hour, maybe.

And then another wave broke
over me and I realized I was

starting to drown.

And then something snapped.

And I said, I screamed, "No."

I started swimming
as hard as I could.

And in a minute,
Jeb and Lorenzo arrived

in their double kayak.

I grabbed onto the back
and they started towing me.

WESTON: I just happened
to arrive to Doug first.

He grabbed onto the back of
my kayak and I got the kayak

turned towards shore
and began to paddle.

He was not panicking,
he was kicking.

He could have so easily
grabbed on to me,

flipped me over.

But, there was no way to
fight the hypothermia that was

starting to set in.

And I could really feel that
he was losing strength to kick

and hold on.

In the final moment, Doug was
looking up the Aveano valley.

And just, humming
almost to himself.

When he lost the strength to
hold on anymore to the boat

I needed to get him up in my arm

to keep his head
out of the water.

I just couldn't hold
him and hold the paddle.

And I lost my
paddle at that point.

Doug and I floated like
that for about an hour,

an hour and a half.

And then I heard a
helicopter coming.

They pulled us floating
in the water to shore,

and they went from
there to the hospital.

KRIS: Broken messages
coming in slowly.

Finally it is Doug,
Rick, helicopter.

I know you're in
serious trouble.

Instinctively, I know,
without knowing.

Outside pleading
with the gods.

Please, please, please,
please bring him back to me.

RICK: And they took us to the
lodge where the phone rang and

the lodge owner answered.

In a short minute later,

hung up and looked
at us and said,

"Now Doug is really dead."

KRIS: Rushed into the
room where I now know

they worked on you for hours.

Cold body, soft.

I crawl up onto your
bed and lay next to you.

I only wanted the two of us
to be cocooned together and

let everything and
everyone else just slip away.

RICK: And I just
stared into my soup.

And I remember Yvon staring
into his soup,

and then he picked up a spoon

and started eating
it very slowly.

And then he looked over
at me and he said,

"Eat your soup.
It's really good."

And I made sure that I

respected every
spoonful of warm soup

going down my throat.

KRIS: And then we
flew him the next day.

And I was in the back with the
coffin and I had a knife in my

bag and I started
carving our names.

I didn't notice but as I'm
carving these big letters and

I'm just carving
as hard as I can,

I'm cutting myself.

There's blood on the box.

There's blood on me.

And I was out of my seatbelt.

I just was so intent on getting
Birdy and Lolo into that box.

So finally, Rick, who's
sitting way up by the pilot,

comes back there, said,

"You sit down,
you get in your seat,

you put your seatbelt on,
and give me that knife.

You are done.

Is this what you want
people to see when we land?"

YVON: She was off the
deep end, you know,

to the point where she
didn't want to live.

She didn't want to go
through life without him.

KRIS: 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.

KRIS: Thank you for coming.

♪ ♪

RICK: We lowered Doug's
casket into the grave.

And then all the people who
had come, all the citizens

from surrounding towns,
hundreds of people,

we all started tossing dirt on
his casket with our hands.

KRIS: It took me a long time
to decide not to go with him.

This is a good place to come.

I was so crazy for
so long after he died.

Everyday.

May 17, when you left Esprit,

you went on a grand search
for what could be next,

the grand gesture to
live a new life.

And now I'm sitting on
that same precipice.

Somehow there has
to be a new story.

Perhaps this is
the point, Birdy.

It's time to write it all down.

Even though I feel still
that it was an amputation,

not just a loss.

I feel this big, audacious
vision of Doug's

was the thing that probably
kept me in one piece.

That was like a
life raft for me.

We never stopped.

I managed everything.

YVON: All these things that she
knew that were unsustainable,

she stopped all that.

And she pulled
herself up and took over.

KRIS: All the farms are gone.

We had 13 farms at one point.

We couldn't make
them self-sustaining.

It was just too expensive.

I couldn't help but feel
that I was failing Doug.

It wasn't an option
to keep them going,

but it was tough to let them go.

It became so black
and white to me.

There was no question.

It was binary, my
whole life became binary.

I want to die,
I'm going to live.

We're going to do this,
we're not going to do that.

Doug wanted to do this,
we're not doing it.

Close it down.

Pumalín, you're done.

Colchagua you're almost done.

Ibera, we're going to do this.

We're going to go twice
the speed, twice the scope.

Just go.

We have nothing to lose.

That was my mantra:
I have nothing to lose.

The worst thing that
could happen to me happened.

RICK: She was into a complete
new phase in her life.

And little by little,

Kris not only found that
reason to keep going,

but she became more and
more fierce and bold.

KRIS: I always felt
like a pebble in a stream.

Not anymore.

I know exactly
what I want to do.

I'm really living

KRIS: So the new park would be

KRIS: 2.3 million.

KRIS: 2.3 million acres.

WOMAN: It's another
Pumalín or Corcovado.

KRIS: 20 million acres.

KRIS: Now we're talking!

RICK: She's inevitably had to
ask herself, "what's next?"

I think that the most energizing
opportunity is rewilding.

CRISTIÁN: 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.

KRIS: There was so much more to
do than just protect the land.

You can't call any of these
places restored or healthy

until everybody's back.

RICK: Kris helped with the
reintroductions of over a

dozen species at this point,

ultimately including the Jaguar,

which nobody's ever done before.

KRIS: It was Doug's idea
to do whatever we could

to bring Jaguars back.

The Jaguar is emblematic.

It's at the top of
the food chain there.

It was one of his dreams.

So we have nine to release.

And that's assuming
that both the cubs,

who are now both females...

WOMAN: Yes.

KRIS: Have two cubs, maybe.

Maybe one.

KRIS: Incredible!

Every time I think
about this I almost cry.

KRIS: Really and truly.

Maybe national parks
are like petri dishes.

And when everything
goes to hell,

national parks being
protected areas

might be a petri dish
in which evolution could

kind of restart itself.

on this planet.

KRIS: March 2nd, 2017.

The government sent up
a smoke signal today.

We will sign the
agreement here on March 15.

At first, enormous relief,
and then momentary happiness

that gave way to my
unending admiration for you.

I asked myself how I can
come this far without you.

But then I remembered
you've been here all along.

ANDRES: You know,
when you devote

not only a lot of your wealth,
but a lot of your life,

and then you choose to
be buried in that place,

you know, it made it impossible

for someone to say,
oh, he's just visiting.

RICK: There was this
outpouring of grief

for a widow across
the entire country.

It galvanized everybody and
any opposition to what they

were trying to do
seemed to vaporize.

KRIS: Historic.
It's historic.

Seriously, no one has
ever done this before.

MICHELLE: When I was the
president, we met with Kristine

and we decided that this could
be an interesting thing

that two women could
continue pushing what

Doug had as a real
important dream.

KRIS: The truth is we needed
to finish up these parks.

You have to remember that we
were carrying untold overhead.

In the last year or so,

we'd been spending
up to $6 million a year

so not donating them would be
economic disaster eventually.

Ay yay yay!

Egan! Hola.

EGAN: All of our best carpenters
are putting up the sign!

KRIS: I can't believe this!

KRIS: It was so audacious
and so unlikely that

you could pull that off.

All five new national
parks at once and

the enlargement
of three others.

But I just felt like
it's now or never.

This is the moment.

WOMAN: Say, Pumalín!

GROUP: Pumalín!

KRIS: This is a
hell of a team.

And there are hundreds
of people involved.

We want the government
to keep them on,

but who knows what will happen?

Some of them we'll see again.

Some of them we won't.

But it's a lot of people coming
to the end of something.

KRIS: 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."

(applause)

(cheering)

KRIS: The weekend before
the president arrived

for the ceremony,

I read something and
I saw immediately

two words that were conditional.

We 'could', we 'would',
not we 'are'.

That told me that one of the
parks and the biggest one,

in this collection of eight,
wasn't completely clear

if it was a go.

And for me, it
was all or nothing.

We do them all
or we do nothing.

So it's a huge risk if
it doesn't go through.

MICHELLE: After all, what
happened to them for all of

those years, trying to
convince different governments

to do something like this and
never being able to go forward,

then I guess of course,
she had to have doubts.

She thought
anything can change.

KRIS: Right up to the hour
before the ceremony,

I had no idea whether
it was going to go or not.

That's it. Let's roll.

When she arrived,
I was really stone faced.

We meet again.

And she wanted to
meet at Doug's grave

in the little cemetery there.

She was acknowledging Doug's
grave and talking about Doug.

And I just thought,
I'm about to pull the plug

on all of this work.

I had two speeches.

One: wrath and brimstone,

if somehow something
had gone awry.

And another one that
was congratulatory.

(speaking Spanish)

And then someone came around
next to me and she said,

"It's in there.
It's okay."

So I turned around to the
president and said,

"God, what a historic day."

(laughs).

♪ ♪

KRIS: 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.

KRIS: Lolo, we made it!

(applause)

(cheering)

(applause)

Oh my god, you guys.

YVON: Here was
somebody I kind of mentored,

and a good friend.

And now standing here with
the president of Chile

signing these papers to
create these parks and geez

(laughs)..

Yeah.

I had tears coming down, it
was a pretty proud moment.

KRIS: It's the
biggest in the world.

You should be so proud.

WESTON: They created the
largest land donation in the

history of mankind.

Doug was setting
the bar really high,

but he would be
proud if somebody

tried to out-do him.

Bigger parks,
more conservation.

KRIS: Oh, my God.

Look at him.

Look look look look.

It's a condor.

RICK: Look at this
incredible wildness

that she and Doug protected.

As far as you can see.

♪ ♪

YVON: It's changed the whole
attitude about conservation

in Latin America.

People want to
establish these parks now.

So now I'm involved in
starting a new park down

in the tip of Tierra del Fuego.

750,000 acres.

I came up with this
idea and I gave it to

Kris's organization.

We're calling it
End of the World Park.

I mean, you know, here,
Doug was ragging on me that

I should be doing the
same thing he was doing.

So now I'm starting to do it.

KRIS: I was always the
sweet one to the two of you.

I was easier to accommodate
and tougher to turn down.

(laughs).

But, god, what a life.

YVON: Yeah, yeah.

KRIS: What a life.
