Three Decades of Tompkins Conservation

Three decades ago, entrepreneur Doug Tompkins made a 180 degree turn in his life to reckon with a planet out of balance. So begins the story of TC, told here in our new video, featuring our president and co-founder, Kristine Tompkins.

In less than a century, wild ecosystems have been reduced from 75% of the Earth to a mere quarter of the planet. Our own human actions are bringing the planet to the brink of collapse.
But at Tompkins Conservation, we are working to rewrite that story.
“We want and believe that the world can be wilder. It can be more beautiful. It can certainly be more equitable. And we know it because we've lived it.” Kristine Tompkins
