April 1999
Millionaire Doug Tompkins wanted to save a rainforest, so he went out and bought one in Southern Chile. Many Chileans though are not so keen on his philanthropy and regard him with suspicion.
The self-made millionaire of the Esprit clothing company now languishes in an Eden of lush forest, deep rivers and abundant wildlife. His massive reserve, Pumalin Park, is an oasis of biodiverstiy. Conservative politician Jaime Orpis regards the swath of land controlled by Tompkins as a threat to national security. His reserve is a strategic 100km long corridor from the Argentine border to central Chile. For a nation still on the periphery of economic success having such a staunch anti-developmentalist tying up resources is also deeply irritating. Many would prefer him to take his high ideals back home. Tompkins though, came to Chile with a dream and despite the knocks he's staying until the government agrees to protect his park themselves.

I hope so you can create a park for all Chilian and the world. Espero que estas tierras no sean utilisadas para el lucro y la destruccion del medio ambiente por la voracidad de corporaciones extrangeras. Ya que los gobiernos neoliberales de Chile no proteg

que pena el escuchar a un chileno, que en su ignorancia, habla mal de un hombre que siendo extranjero, invirtio todo su dinero para comprar estas hermosas tierras y regalarselas a Chile. Convirtiendolas en Parque Nacional para protejerlas. Despues de todos sus sacrificios y pelear con politicos chilenos que lo unico que quieren es poder y no el bienestar del pais. Tompkins es el padre de la ecologia Chilena.algun dia los hijos de
nuestros hijos le agradeceran
This interviewer/narrator seems amazed that anyone with money would want to preserve nature. There are far richer people in the world doing their part to destroy the earth as quickly as possible. Give Mr. Tompkins the credit that he deserved.
@lattakiantiger Yes, and I and many, many mores of chileans we realized that. He only will found a huge resistence against him.

Patricia Hurt : 100% deacuerdo contigo.
the number of Israeli tourists to Chile is 16000 every year(Israel population is 4 millions). Moreover, It is not logical that one man is able to buy these lands which do not bring him income if he does not have support from someone.
Believe me, Tompkin is trying to found a Jewish state in South America.
RIP mr thompkins
Tompkins
A great man who contributed so much to mother nature
Very sad the way he lost his life
RIP
Gracias por conservar nuestro pais.
This guy is a fucking genious.
I would do the Exact same thing if i had the opportunity. Get insanely rich, and buy up the most beautiful places on earth so all the dumbasses couldn't ruin it.
Of course it is your country and you can do what you want with it, but he is only trying to help give futur Chileans a nice place free from factories and electricity plants like they want to put in patagonia already. I've been to Chile 4 times and what you have is very special and it seems like anyone that want to help protect your land there should be welcome, no? no all gringos are trying to take from you.
@healtheplanetfirst Do you really buy his story?? so they know how to take care of the eco system , look at all the first world countries, especialy the States, do they look like well protected reservations of natural life? Why do you think they come here, to get what they dont have anymore at their own countries.
Most of the chileans are deeply grateful to mr&mrs Tompkins for save our nation nature's treasures from destruction.
There are some suspicious people... like everywhere else, but they are a minority making noise.
This is not in fact. Chileans was in favour of Tompkins to 2001, when Chileans Colonizers were expulsed and 2009, when the case of Aisen- Chaiten was relationed to the Jewish plain "Andinia"
"grandes pensadores"
if he cares for the land better than the Chilean government, not really bother me.
and Im chilean.
I think its time for each and evryone of us to draw that line! Open your eyes people!
Estimada Patricia Hurt, estoy actualmente a cargo de la venta de un Lodge en argentina. Y la verdad que descubrimos bastantes problemas evidentes respecto de nuestros planos con los que posee este Señor. No hablamos de ignoracia, sólomtratamos de proteger lo poco que nos queda. Hemos recibido quejas de colonos en primer y segundo corral , ademas de llanada grande sobre presiones, amenazas por dejar sus tierras.
@chanabizz
por favor no hables de lo que no sabes.
reserva ecologica, si ya ha hecho pistas de aterrizaje para sus amigos millonarios. no permite hacer el camino para los pueblos que lo necesitan.
tiene todo cercado con vallas electrificadas-
si tanto te gusta llevatelo a tu país y que haga una reserva allá, pero claro después tu no vas a poder entrar
piensen un poco antes de hablar y defender al tal tompkins.
ahora resulta que lo que dice tompkins es sagrado. el tiene la ultima palabra.,
jajaj anda a cagar otro lado tompkins, obvio que hay algunos incredulos que piensan que Mr. es el salvador. asi como algunos todabia creen que obama es la salvacion del planeta.
no queda mas que reir,por no llorar.
compra campos en tu pais, que tenga mas territorio nos dividiste a la mitad, ningun compatriota tuyo dejaria comprar tanto terreno teniendo una visa de turista. si tienes tanta bondad se bueno y no te aprobeches de la ignorancia y pobreza de mis compatriotas del sur y del interes de dinero o politico de los estupidos que manejan mi pais
God Bless
@albko
Si, las queremos para nosotros los chilenos, para que así podamos entregarselas a ENDESA a cambio de unas lucas, como recuerdo de los viejos tiempos de colonia.
@lattakiantiger We know that as "Plan Andinia".
Argentina and Chile againt the "Andinia Plain"
entiendo este parque se va a convertir en el proximo estado judio
