Whenever I need inspiration and motivation, I come back here and I've watched the video like 100 times. Great job, Conservacion Patagonica. RIP Douglas Tompkins.
I think I’ve watched this video like a 100 times and I have finally decided to go there this summer and run the hell out of it! Proud to say I’m Chilean and I love the beauty of my country #inspiredbynature
I ve got back into trail running a few weeks ago, its great, I love it. My personal health plan changes each week, I thought I knew what I wanted then it changes. Starting with heavy weights in training to gain mass, I've changed my thoughts over a few weeks to weight training, not too heavy bulking in mind to HIIT and trail running. its great balance. Living in northwest England, the landscape, hillside is wonderful, love it.
what an amazing coupe... giving themselves to this project. Conversation is something we should all be involved in... small steps help the bigger picture
Doug Tompkins.........how the heck are you? Just watching this film About Trail Running and Conservation in Patagonia and up pops Doug. Good to see your face. I worked for you at Esprit for almost 20 years. Sales rep. in the northwest. Tim Claveria.
Actually recent research in stopping "desertification" and reclaiming desert lands show that proper rotational grazing of the land by livestock is required to keep the land fertile and productive. The old thinking that livestock was destroying the natural habitat has been proven wrong. See the current works in the grasslands of Africa.
Matthew Payawal The artist is Jacob Bain - I'm not sure if the track will be called this when it's released commercially, but there's a video called "Jacob Bain sings 6 strings" on youtube which is a live version of this song.
What a weird concept, conservation. White western worlds think that building a larger national park system is what the world really needs. White savior complex. What about focusing on why it needs to be conserved in the first place? The Indigenous form of conservation is leaving things alone and living in harmony with it. Not setting up parks to exclude classes of people from it. There's always this idea that westerners need to come in and make better use of the land than the indigenous people there, because we don't know how to use it. Alas, look at all the commenters and the majority of trail runners. You'll notice a trend. They're white westerners fascinated with returning back to the simpler more "primal" traditions of the people who were killed off of the lands they now want to preserve. As Native people we know things move in circles, and it was only a matter of time before white westerners realized the truth in simplistic living, but it's annoying as hell when it's presented as a new idea and made to seem like indigenous communities need white intervention to make things better.
Phillip Espinoza I think you are missing the point here. It's not about being condescending and thinking the locals don't know any better. It's about protecting the land in a globalized community. If Doug Tompkins could come in and buy out most of the land that is now designated as a national park, then domestic and foreign business interests could just as easily have came in to exploit the lands for something less selfless. That's the reality. It's impossible not to incorporate Patagonia as a public land through the national park system if people mean to continue living in harmony with it as you described.
Phillip Espinoza Hi Phillip - I don't think the creation of a new national park excludes looking at the bigger picture. Ideally, we would live in a world where humans could live in parallel with nature and thrive with no need for national parks, however the rate at which the developing world expands, it is imperative that these pristine landscapes be preserved before they are ruined forever, for everyone. As Doug Tompkins says, national parks are the purest form of social equity. They belong to everyone. When it is complete the park will be given to the government, gifted back to the people of Chile. It should be noted that the land was not purchased from indigenous people, but rather a Belgian ranching family that had been there for 80+ years. Overgrazed, the ranch was no longer able to contribute to the local economy. The national park system is the best known way to preserve land in perpetuity and supply access to all. If there is a better way to protect land from overdevelopment in perpetuity, I haven't heard of it. Show less
***** you've got to be filled with arrogance to think the concept of a national park is incomprehensible to people who may disagree with what's going on in this video. white people just don't want to understand anyone else. it's sad.
orange moonglows I understand as an indigenous person of Patagonia you feel angry. I am not white, I am from Turkey and since we have similar issues in my country I feel I should comment on why I find your attitude unhelpful. Here in Turkey we have beautiful forest lands in the North East part of our country, called Kackarlar, youtube it, it is nice. The tiny high plains villages that are occupied only through summer by the locals and can be accessed by fire roads. These are generally broad roads that are not connected to each other. Now the government is building additional roads that are to connect all the villages so that the tourists can come and visit. What than is the problem? Arent the local people going to get rich? Is it our right to hold back villagers to have more? Not all but a lot of the local people are actually not happy with this system, these roads will only serve to bring the weekend tourists who are there to simply look at the nature from afar, throw their garbage on whatever they find and leave. These roads will also enable big investments in terms of hotels, destroying the fragile Alpine environment, and without doubt destroy also the local way of life that many of the villagers are fond of. These large restaurants and all the new concrete houses that would be built will remove all the beauty from the land one step at a time. In a land where pouring money on public projects so that a few people who get contracts can get very rich while the rest have to eat off their scraps we have actually seen this sort of thing happen in a lot of the coastal areas on the southwest. We are not against the local people making a living from off the land but we believe this should be planned and trade-offs explicitly discussed. The people with the money have the power. And just because you are not of European descent does not mean you are not white. Our lands have their elites. We surely are no homogeneous people. Therefore if a group of people want to be part of the solution, it should be welcomed and not dismissed with some back hand phrase.
Patagonia is such an inspiring brand. It makes me want to see more, do more and be more 🙏

That makes me smile - really glad you went and gosh do I miss it!
RIP, Doug Tompkins. Sad to see a visionary like him pass.

Love this one and show it to my Spanish classes all the time!
what an awesome way to combine conservation, sports and business.
Amazing film that captures both running and environmentalism
Great to see areas like this around the world being conserved. Its such a tiny fraction of what is being destroyed every day.
you all should watch 180 degrees south.. I think it is still on netflix.
Yes, it´s a great film.
+SUNdown Love that film. It was pretty inspiring. I highly recommend checking it out!

What a beautiful place. Would love to go there sometime!
And what a way to say goodbye to the world Douglas.
Hopefully human kind will be eternally grateful.
I know my family and I are.
Awesome! Whatever you motivation to get outdoors and conserve wildlife is something you should pursue tenaciously!
Brilliant project. Inspiring.
Great video Patagonia!! :D Thanks
