In the early 1990s, Kris and Doug Tompkins began buying up vast amounts of land in Chile and Argentina and setting it aside for conservation.
Since the early 2000s, their non-profit Tompkins Conservation has donated over 800,000 hectares (2 million acres) of wilderness in Chile and Argentina, which spurred the permanent protection of nearly 6 million hectares (15 million acres) and the establishment of 13 new national parks.
The Tompkins had performed “a kind of capitalist jujitsu move” as Kris Tompkins put it in her 2020 TED talk: “We deployed private wealth from our business lives and deployed it to protect nature from being devoured by the hand of the global economy.”

ESTEROS DEL IBERA, Argentina After being extinct for over 70 years, the release of jaguars into the Ibera wetlands of central Argentina earlier this month marks a significant development in the wildlife ecosystem.
A three-year-old mother jaguar named Mariua and her four-month-old cubs named Karai and Pora are one of the first to enter the park.
The critically-endangered species, which was assumed to have been hunted to extinction, have been allowed to step out into the Gran Ibera Park.
