Douglas Tompkins was a renowned American businessman who co-founded The North Face Inc and Esprit. In 1989, he shifted his focus to environmental and land conservation causes. Working alongside his second wife, Kris McDivitt Tompkins, they acquired and preserved over 2 million acres of wilderness in Chile, becoming one of the largest private landowners in the world. Their conservation efforts included park creation, wildlife recovery, ecological agriculture, and biodiversity activism, ultimately resulting in a substantial land donation to the Chilean government.
