Kristine and Douglas Tompkins
In 1993, Douglas Tompkins, founder of North Face and Esprit, and Kristine Tompkins, former CEO of Patagonia, got married and moved to South Chile full time. In the same decade, they spent over $345 million towards buying hundreds of thousands of acres in Patagonia. Falling in love with the vast landscapes and abundant wildlife, their goal was to preserve the land.
Now the Tompkins Conservancy is donating these lands to enrich
the natural parks in Patagonia.
