Douglas Tompkins: Wild Legacy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лип 2016
- Douglas Tompkins was a world-renowned adventurer, entrepreneur, and conservationist. Co-founder of The North Face and Esprit, Doug spent the first half of his life building successful, global brands, while simultaneously adventuring around the world, completing first descents of the world’s toughest rivers. In 1968 Doug embarked on a trip to Chile, driving with friends from California to the tip of Patagonia. Documented in the film Mountain of Storms, the trip solidified Doug’s place as rock climbing legend. In the early 1990s, Doug sold his part of Esprit and moved down to Chile to do conservation work full time with his wife, Kristine McDivitt Tompkins, the former CEO of Patagonia, Inc. Together, over the last 25 years, Doug and Kris have protected 2.2 million acres, more land than any other individuals. The foundations under the Tompkins Conservation umbrella, along with their partners, have created five national parks in Chile and Argentina and are in the process of creating five more. A Wild Legacy tells the story of Doug’s incredible life, his lasting impact on the wild landscapes of Patagonia, and Kris and the Tompkins Conservation team’s efforts to continue his audacious mission.
Doug was tragically killed in a kayaking accident on Lago General Carrera, north of Patagonia Park, on December 8th, 2015. Douglas Tompkins: A Wild Legacy was presented to audiences at the Telluride Mountain Film Festival on May 24th, 2016 during the festival’s tribute to Doug.

Thanks to Tompkins in Chile we still have wild life!
rest in power Doug, thank you for the inspiration.
What a truly beautiful mission in Dougs life. Some of those areas of Chilean Patagonia are the most spectacular places I've ever been; truly wild. Brings a smile to my face to see the work continuing to be realised after his passing. There is however still much to be done. The world needs more business people like Doug.
What an incredible legacy!!
An incredibly unselfish way
of helping the planet
Respect RIP

Having spent three months traveling through the Patagonian wilderness, I was overcome, overcome with great fear for these wild places being lost. I was fortunate enough to hike a ton of the Patagonia national park and let me tell you, Douglas and Kris have done something that is truly incredible. I am forever grateful for his legacy.
Doug was not only great guy but inspired and still inspires us so much. He shows that we all can make a difference.
I had heard of Doug Tompkins and his amazing work before going to Patagonia in 2016 however I didn't know he died. It was in Patagonia I got to hear this awful news. Patagonia amazed me in so many levels. True beauty of nature. It's people like Doug that preserve the good on mother Earth.
What an outstanding legacy and contribution Doug and Chris and their national counterparts have given us! I feel very grateful that people with this kind of vision are still among us.
What a beautiful man, what a wonderful relation, connection & understanding of our lives to this our 'only' planet, simply wonderful and a true lesson for each individual, thank you so inspiring,
Very inspiring! What a vision! And what an awesome life he had!
What a legend. He did it all. He had it all. But most of all he treasured the bounty of nature. And he spent it all on his believe.
Doug did great things. Don't feel small next to that. Do the things you do. Try to do them well. Continue to do the things you do well. Repeat.
Thank you for a kind and simple message of encouragement. Helping each other along the path is a blessing.
if it wasn't for Mr. Douglas Tompkins, the Alerce forest would have been gone long time ago
Great story and hope we can all learn from this and support conservation efforts throughout the world!
Cheers for the great Doug!! RESPECT.
C’est très réconfortant et encourageant de voir qu’il existe des personnes animées par la protection de la nature , des animaux,de notre monde si beau …

Just extraordinary
Beautiful film
What a great Spirit to have blessed the planet. Let's continue to change the paradigm of exploitation, desecration and neglect to love of land, it's animals & plant / vegetation life- to be stewards and protectors of Mother Gaia and her splendor.
Salute to Señor Douglas!
Beautiful mind And good thinking 99%
With all respect to Douglas and Kris Tompkins!
what is the name of song played in starting of the documentry?
why am i hearing this for the first time?
what a great thing to do!!what a life!
I wanna be like Doug!
Anyone know the intro song? I've been searching for years ever since I first heard it on the doc.
Удивительный человек
Wow 😊
It concerns me that these parks were given back to their countries.
Those societies are light years away from Doug's existential zip code.
Hoping for the best.
I agree, hopefully they stay national parks.
❤😊💎
anybody happen to know what song this is?
what a guy!
It is with people like Douglas Tompkins that makes me ask the question: will the billions of Chinese and Indians ever be able to produce such an individual in this millenia? If not, then what good is our progress?
You a filled with the idea of only the white man can care about the environment! There were many efforts in chile and argentina to preserve la patagonia , the only thing Doug did was buy a big chunk of land and say hey now is a national park and you cannot do nothing about . Democracy out the window for all natives of the land!
only if every person that is financially stable with excessive money would go the route of Doug and Chris Tompkins
First song?
12:16 what kind of bird is that ?
Sorry for late response, those are chilean flamingoes :)
This guy had a hand in the origins of North Face, Patagonia, and Espirit. What kind of illuminati shyt is that?! Hahaha jk... but I can see why the Chileans were suspicious at first
So, it's all about making money...
if you doubt it go to the mountains naked naked and undressed...
