A #guanaco, a wild #camelid native to South America, stands in late afternoon light in the #steppe #grasslands below peaks dusted with snow, in #Chacabuco Valley, at the center of the future #Patagonia National Park, a 650,000 acre Park that will permanently protect a broad range of Patagonia #wildlife and #ecosystems. At the heart of the project, spearheaded by Kris and Doug Tompkins in cooperation with Chilean National Parks, is the 174,500 Estancia Valle Chacabuco, which was purchased in 2004 by Conservación Patagonica, a non-profit founded by Kris Tompkins. The large sheep ranch, which connects two existing Chilean national reserves, is now open to the public as a park in progress- the sheep and fences have been removed, habitat restored, wildlife is returning and campgrounds and trails designed by Doug Tompkins, are already welcoming visitors.
Doug Tompkins, one of the worlds most visionary conservationists, died on Dec 8 in a kayaking accident just north of Valle Chacabuo. His energy, his ideas and vision, will be sorely missed - but his legacy and spirit remains in the 2.2 million acres of forest, steppe, mountains, wetlands and critical wildlife habitat that he and his wife and partner Kris Tompkins have protected in Chile and Argentina, the 5 national parks they helped create, in wild rivers un-dammed and which still flow free, and in the inspiration he has given to all of us who knew and loved him to work for protection of wild lands and creatures.
