Biodiversity. 60 percent of the world sunny miles book relation have been wiped out since the 1970 s. Scientists claim that the planet is witnessing a muscle steam engine. In response a Worldwide Movement is now underway to rewire the countryside to restore land today to one in the city at the tip of south america succeeding oil expectations. I have come to but im going to have to meet Chris Tompkins and have her base was dedicated the best to that gets to the protection of this area the conservation projects she started with her husband doug has become a true inspiration to those who believe the wilderness can heal itself to even have a chance. But i go nia its a vast region of mountains and forests spanning seldom chile and argentina. Though famous for its a stunning landscapes for center a seat has been an important region for livestock farming and many of its grasslands have been graced there. At the regions hard life Patagonia National park. And here to find out how this became one of the biggest conservation projects in history. You know full well i think yeah i mean im chris how can one of your little deal. Former c. E. O. Of Elder Company but they go into priest marry doug tomkins and interplay newer and ive been through who had founded rival brand the north face. Both brands made them by your mentor protections central to their Company Ethos but chris and doug wanted to do more from the early ninetys but over 300000000. 00 u. S. Dollars of land for preservation across chile and argentina they build parks complete with largest campgrounds and trails to support a good story some after dogs sudden death in 2015 carried the mantle as president of their foundation tomkins conservation what was it you saw here that may you take a listen if you know change you know the next 20 years. I didnt see it frankly that theyre still on the side. He saw a landscape that was beat up and miles of fence line to take down and that convinced me this was the conservation chance of a lifetime. In 2004 in the. Crease and dog bought this sheep ranch of almost 200000 acres of overgrazed grassland. They set about returning it to me to along with the harmful of smaller farms using a process called rewilding rewilding is the restoration of an entire ecosystem to its natural state by removing foreign species reintroducing and protecting native ones it begins with the removal of livestock and that will debilitation to flourish this encourages insects and the Early Learning males attracting birds and other small predators removing fences allows the return of therapy forces which are preyed on by a fix predators those at the top of the food chain which then also multiply. Species in critically low numbers totally absent or rehabilitated ultimately free and predator populations regulate one another and the ecosystem evolves into a by a long term selfsustaining wilderness. When we bought this property there were probably 500 miles of fence line. That needed to come down and when you take the fences down you see wildlife coming back and because for 80 years its been excluded from the best grasses and says are to keep wildlife. Out of the best grasses and keep your life start and the best. So its very exciting to see the grasslands and the forests begin to restore our selves and thats the joy of taking fences down. 100 benefiting from this grass is there when i go close relatives of the llama and a keystone species that is one that plays a crucial role in the functioning of the ecosystem its not often you see one by itself theyre pretty emblematic of the paragraph me and step if theyre plentiful and theyre calm like this one is then you know that the system is coming back and that they feel no threads course and thats where. I want to see what rewilding looks like up close and. Still the parts they rector of conservation has agreed to show me. Has been a guiding hand on the rewinding process is the part beginning so no one knows the flora and fauna youre better than him. On route we bump into a few of the locals and. Me out. Of there pick me out in some way. Part of the course of this park. To pick me old preston small birds rodents and in 6 to thrive in healthy grassland. Takes me 2 years of the park but it borders on a working ranch difference in the grass on either side he says striking. Here is a good example of what happened in one place where you removed the livestock and one place where landowners decide to put more livestock than their land is able to support in terms of food. So the consequence is that you last division and you see the composition of the plant seeds different so if you have livestock permanently eating the grass they dont have the chance to release the feed and their recovery phase low there is some consequence like erosion that is very hard to. Take over destined to be really recall for. The park at least and the team have established a Breeding Center for. Us to reach the darwin. Baited and brought here to a climatized before being released. Really. Strongly associated with. Going in a big grassland so i grassland without a complete. Main proposal of. The captive population is providing in the. Population the main issue here was that the relation was so. Less than 20. The white population of rio was dismayed by hunting and the destruction of their hobby but is now slowly growing and successfully dispersing here from a very real that have been really well youll see that there is a line of fans right now we are removing it and that the improved. Barriers that have been released to be me with a wild rear we are now in the 3rd generation and we are planning to keep this Program Running in the next 35 years when we are made that we can read up with relation off about 100 birthing there while. Those tiny the growing real population will in turn help sustain their only natural predator and the species im most excited to see they lose the king of patagonia the. Come to meet their herd there and hunter. In the area used to keel over tend. To protect their communities flocks. For the. Kid to put forth. A fair go. No. But. You know words are so wide like word and and its the parts risk in trucking expert if anyone can find the opal my team. But out of it having. A medal i think i understand. You are having only have one course im going to wear you. And i said i want you to give us one for my i mean i mean and i said ok and i said ok. Well you know what im more real but i dont have any. Moment. We dont need any money to a possible. Way. To see that only these men of the land i can see there that he can distinguish. Anywhere here who most prefer to hunt at night and are chances of seeing one are very slim so were doing the next best thing sitting a camera. On the t. V. Used to monitor their activity. When i went to one of the men it was clear that. They come over here. Because youre in jail. Various terms. With the baby should grow into most curious that another cut has been here. Were going to leave this camera trip for a few days and see whether we get lucky. It may be hard to actually see a pool but for crease their return credit reports and predators have been systematically persecuted for decades and decades so their numbers get precariously love every ecosystem has whats called their apex species here in patagonia its promise and if you take out the very top predator everything cascades down from that. Comes out of order one even though its early here in the park in terms of rebalancing we can see some big changes where there are Water Systems and grasslands are definitely coming back the number of pulis in the park and the numbers of what not goes in the park foxes but the success comes when all of those species are truly back in a system thats functioning without human intervention. As willis helping to clean air and water large expanses of forest and thats really sequester carbon crucial way to meet again climate change. Riggin orating forest also play host to a tree too so rare its almost mythic and its rehabilitation could be the parts being the biggest challenge. To wildlife rangers have promised to help me find it. I want. The nearly a. Perfect but then again i was everywhere when iraq started i dont know probably wont get any when i am when i get here. And. The new trucks will move here using telemetry. The checks radio frequencies to meet in from callers on the beer. When i thought we were. Both in for yari simple no matter. They were not. Perfect and they were for none of the yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Destruction and poaching abroad sometimes called the start than the end dear to the brink of extinction. There are fewer than 2000 left in the word just one percent of their population look them in chile and argentina. Honest i love it ill. Be. There if. He. Really meant. For money. In the im. Just. Really close to him a. Now to find our commander cannot come. Out of theyre going to. Keep. Going on where they can be and. The nearly invites me back to his family home to meet his wife. Their family comes from a long line of gauchos wrenching people found the cross but they go into who are often fiercely proud of their way of life. Many go in the nearby community of cochrane see conservation as a threat to both their livelihoods and their culture. The neon worked on the old ranch a shepherd for 6 years before taking a job conserving were in the park to replace that. We. Really mean you know. Sort of think. You can live this is. One. Of. The fellas 31 of us has said but. For. Those who still ranching also complain that must leave the park to peel their lives took. 16 people working on the ranch when it was closed then employed at the park 8 of them a spark wardens like the near. By 2018 the park employ more than 90 people during high season meanwhile tourism has created sustainable sources of income for local populations this was truly an emblematic ranch so just the image this region shifts when the land use shifts and that was really hard on people which i completely understand i would hate to have this area be 100 percent tourism the culture would fracture the structure of society would begin to fall apart and thats what im interested in im interested in working ranches alongside conservation areas so theres dignity and health on both sides. But when chris and doug started buying land local grievances were just the beginning. Some chileans said it was the us. A plot to control the countrys weather or even establish a scientist state. The duncans also infuriated conservatives when they joined the Popular Campaign to stop a giant dam project near the park. But theyre high profile role in the movement in which thousands took to the streets forcing the government to reject the project one of the many admirers across chile. One way there from nation hope to contribute to local communities while also convincing them of the benefits of conservation is through a free you cation program. Lena is leading a school group from the nearby settlements of going. On a 2 day trip. Religiously and take a little to the land only but the musical the music of the overtaking we have also take. A look at why that. Is about them its just an excellent lexs unit north of us who cover us isis it is obviously. Quite. Fond of. The us on the. Get out of the. I need. Any im going to go. Get a fellow he come. To me one. Time or. Another listen i still feel. I want to sell a glass and he can take. Its a loan you got me guess itll mean the both of us are going to be very good they said all colonial. Rule. So its all good i dont poke a bit of. The employee money with a bundle in the. Summer yet despite living in the countryside for some of these kids hes their 1st dame counting in the wide. Fighting youre going to get an idea. Done. On monday. The one on the phone with her fellow little girl she knew you. By meeting up with the chick are coming to town. We have heard that the woman has been spotted with the carcass of a when i go and go to check it out. To get in here couldnt you get there but if. You. Could a youll get all that icky. And which are not too little from my phone. He. And i think it on my phone and i sure dont and im. Sure he said im not a kid but. You know the local put out on what he said all of us had. Assumed youre just bigger than us so that. You know. How to hurt. Whenll went into our favor and then south you know its early passer. By a. No luck this time but the seal on the team have used camera traps to the command over 35 to must now resident in the park. With balance returning the donkeys foundation feels ready to do what they have always done with their parks and made it to the state in 828000 signing ceremony with then presley and michelle freeze handed over these and another park worth a combined 1000000 acres it was billed as the biggest donation of private land to a state least ery. The chilean government also contributed 9000000 acres of their own body slam now forms 5 new National Parks and expand 3 others an area 3 times bigger than yellowstone and yosemite combined. Assault will help the naval the root of pirates a scenic road 1700 miles long connecting 17 parks across chile boosting the economies of the communities on route. Right now just another 2 days facilities are closed down until the handover process is complete so the whole team theyre all saying goodbye to one another and its not like hell be back next year so yes its sad. Listen for yourself. And seeing their dream finally become a reality supporting a moment. Here is. The day that doug died he was on a kayaking trip with our best friends and they got caught out in a severe westerly when they were getting pushed farther and farther out into the center of the lake and so they decided to abandon the kayak and try to swim to shore. And it was just too much. It was in the water for over 2 hours and they got in his helicopter to hospital in clay ok and somehow the word spread so fast. Had either die or was in trouble and as we drove to the hospital people were. Taking their heart had softened opening. Thing really thought. It was extraordinary anyway we got to. Die 20 minutes before so. Soon after dogs National Congress voted to make a minor retooling. It was an official recognition both of the contribution to the count. Not to run unopposed much the public come to brace them what a life. Heres a guy who had no limitations. You know youre so easily stopped by things that are difficult or seemingly impossible. To many people you know. I or we leave behind a legacy of if you dont establish some sort of value system that award space between human and nonhuman. Well never get where we need to go. Im using my final evening in the park to take a proper hike the only way to truly appreciate the secular place. I feel so lucky to have had the towns to be said one of the few remaining great wilderness of the word experience has shown me just preciousness ecosystems are and how easily they could be used for human activity we do this also give me hope to see that these grass roots of forest have been revived to welcome back the amazing creatures that once called the home.
