Doug made the first ascent of
this mountain back in 2008.

He was a climber, and it
was always his first love.

Doug grew up in the Northeast.
178
00:11:40,533 --> 00:11:44,704
He started climbing in the Gunks
when he was in middle school.
179
00:11:45,955 --> 00:11:48,666
He had no interest in school.
180
00:11:48,666 --> 00:11:50,918
Never went to college.
181
00:11:50,918 --> 00:11:56,173
He found it a worthless way to
spend your life: conforming.
182
00:11:56,549 --> 00:12:00,803
He just rejected all of it.

Doug and me together.
196
00:12:40,926 --> 00:12:43,220
JIMMY: Doug and Yvon
were best friends and
197
00:12:43,220 --> 00:12:45,514
lifelong climbing partners.
198
00:12:45,514 --> 00:12:47,892
They were both
world class climbers.
199
00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:51,145

surfers and skiers.

203
00:12:58,486 --> 00:13:01,864
KRIS: Doug really
looked up to Yvon,

00:13:01,864 --> 00:13:05,493
and that relationship
changed over the 50 years.
205
00:13:05,493 --> 00:13:08,996
And Yvon really listened to
Doug when they entered into
206
00:13:08,996 --> 00:13:11,624
their business lives.
207
00:13:12,082 --> 00:13:13,876
YVON: Somehow he talked
himself in getting the
208
00:13:13,876 --> 00:13:17,213
franchise for a hot
dog stand in Yosemite.
209
00:13:17,213 --> 00:13:19,590
He ran a hotdog
stand and climbed.
210
00:13:20,341 --> 00:13:23,052
He was an entrepreneur.
211
00:13:23,052 --> 00:13:25,596

saying this sucks,

I'm going to do it my own way.
215
00:13:32,186 --> 00:13:33,813
And you know, Doug
became a businessman
216
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:36,148
before anybody else.
217
00:13:36,148 --> 00:13:40,152
I mean, I was a blacksmith and
I was making climbing gear,
218
00:13:40,152 --> 00:13:43,823
but I didn't consider myself a
businessman until way later.
219
00:13:47,451 --> 00:13:50,704
I was climbing six months
a year and I started
220
00:13:50,704 --> 00:13:53,666
making climbing gear.
221
00:13:53,666 --> 00:13:56,335
I was growing the business in
all the normal ways,
222
00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:58,838
but we had a lot
of different ideas.
223
00:13:58,838 --> 00:14:02,550

work when you have to work
225
00:14:04,343 --> 00:14:06,470

She just kind of worked

291
00:17:33,969 --> 00:17:38,974
and we slowly learned how
to run a business together.
292

Doug had started his
own business as well.

California Mountaineering
Guide Service, it was called.

00:17:49,902 --> 00:17:53,530
And that became the reason
that I started the North Face.
296
00:17:54,907 --> 00:17:56,992
I needed equipment to
supply the clients

She picked me up hitchhiking.
301
00:18:15,094 --> 00:18:18,680
{\an8}SUSIE: One day I'm driving on
an in an area called Emerald Bay

00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:24,144
{\an8}in Lake Tahoe and
there's this guy hitchhiking.
303
00:18:24,144 --> 00:18:25,604
So I stopped and picked
him up, and he had ropes
304
00:18:25,604 --> 00:18:28,440
and he had all
his climbing gear.
305
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,983
He was so arrogant.
306
00:18:29,983 --> 00:18:31,485
I just remember thinking,

00:18:31,485 --> 00:18:33,070
What a jerk this guy is,
308
00:18:33,070 --> 00:18:36,115
but there's something
kind of cool, too.
309
00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:38,659
Eventually we got married.
310
00:18:38,659 --> 00:18:41,870
We lived in North Beach
in San Francisco.
311
00:18:41,870 --> 00:18:46,667
When we opened the North Face,
we invited this group called
312
00:18:46,667 --> 00:18:50,420
the Grateful Dead to
play at our opening.
313
00:18:51,755 --> 00:18:54,675
Doug had a great
time building it out
314
00:18:54,675 --> 00:18:57,719
and it was really beautiful.
315
00:18:58,262 --> 00:19:01,557
KRIS: He created this unique
environment to sell different
316
00:19:01,557 --> 00:19:05,310
kind of clothing and
climbing equipment.
317
00:19:07,187 --> 00:19:10,232
SUSIE: The North Face kept
growing and then Doug got very
318
00:19:10,232 --> 00:19:12,943
restless because he wanted to
go away and go climbing
319
00:19:12,943 --> 00:19:15,112
and not be tied down.
320
00:19:15,112 --> 00:19:17,865
And so, we sold it.
321
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:22,119
YVON: At that time,
Susie had started Esprit.
322
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,205
She was in partnership
with another woman.
323
00:19:26,331 --> 00:19:29,501
SUSIE: We'd been out selling
off of these very, very
324
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,337
amateur samples we had made.
325
00:19:32,337 --> 00:19:34,840
And so I remember
showing him the orders.
326
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,633
Doug just looked at it and
kind of shook his head and
327
00:19:36,633 --> 00:19:40,095
was just like, "Wow,
there's an opportunity!"
328
00:19:40,095 --> 00:19:42,639
We were in business.
329
00:19:43,182 --> 00:19:47,019
So then Esprit became a big
label, and then we took off.
330
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:50,814
DOUG: Really built
the Esprit company up.
331
00:19:50,814 --> 00:19:53,108
Eventually expanded
internationally with a lot of
332
00:19:53,108 --> 00:19:54,776
partners all around the world,
333
00:19:54,776 --> 00:19:58,780

Australia to Europe.

Patagonia National Park.
337
00:20:22,179 --> 00:20:25,557
But what's going
to happen to this?
338
00:20:25,557 --> 00:20:28,977
It's one thing to
have a big idea,
339
00:20:28,977 --> 00:20:30,687
but it's quite another thing
340
00:20:30,687 --> 00:20:33,649
to be able
to realize it.
341
00:20:33,649 --> 00:20:36,526
And that's where it takes
working really closely
342
00:20:36,526 --> 00:20:39,029
with the government.
343
00:20:40,489 --> 00:20:44,117
This park is one
of five new parks.
344
00:20:44,117 --> 00:20:48,538
In every case, we've bought
significant territory and
345
00:20:48,538 --> 00:20:51,541
proposed to the government
to partner with us
346
00:20:51,541 --> 00:20:55,587
and contribute additional
federal lands.

can easily be a national park
348

fledged national parks.

Being convinced that that was
actually going to happen
352
00:21:18,777 --> 00:21:21,655

{\an8}CAROLINA: Chile has been a
country totally based on
354

{\an8}extractive economy.
355
00:21:27,536 --> 00:21:31,456
It is said that mining
is the salary of Chile,
356
00:21:31,456 --> 00:21:34,751
it is more than
60% of our exports.
357
00:21:34,751 --> 00:21:37,587
Today, Chile is the world's
largest copper producer and
358
00:21:37,587 --> 00:21:40,465
the second largest
lithium producer.
359

DOUG: Chile is a mining country.
360

It's an extractive economy.
361

The mining
industry is a pollutant.
362
00:21:52,769 --> 00:21:55,731
RODRIGO: The politicians
economical sense was to
363
00:21:55,731 --> 00:21:58,233
exploit those
lands and the forests.
364
00:21:58,233 --> 00:21:59,985
So, you know, the people that
were at the government at the
365
00:21:59,985 --> 00:22:04,865
{\an8}time didn't get the
idea of the park.
366
00:22:07,409 --> 00:22:08,869
YVON: In Latin America,
367
00:22:08,869 --> 00:22:11,246
there's no history
of land philanthropy.
368
00:22:11,246 --> 00:22:14,249
So here comes this
wacko American,
369
00:22:14,249 --> 00:22:15,834
goes down there and he says,
370
00:22:15,834 --> 00:22:19,254
I'm gonna buy up all
this land in Chile,
371
00:22:19,254 --> 00:22:20,797
and I'm gonna make parks and
372
00:22:20,797 --> 00:22:22,924
I'm gonna give it
back to the people.
373
00:22:22,924 --> 00:22:27,471

come on, nobody does that.

KRIS: Doug started
coming down here in 1961.
378
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:50,994
He was ski racing, and
all ski racers trained
379
00:22:50,994 --> 00:22:53,246
in the off season.
380
00:22:53,246 --> 00:22:57,042
So that's how he began to
understand what Argentina and
381
00:22:57,042 --> 00:22:58,710
Chile were like.
382
00:22:58,710 --> 00:23:02,756
And he really liked
it from the beginning.
383
00:23:03,090 --> 00:23:07,260
So he had this love
affair with Patagonia.
384
00:23:15,477 --> 00:23:17,979
YVON: It was his idea
to go down to Patagonia.
385
00:23:17,979 --> 00:23:19,940
So we took off
two weeks later.
386
00:23:19,940 --> 00:23:23,402
We bought an old van, filled
it up with skis and surfboards
387
00:23:23,402 --> 00:23:26,613
and climbing gear.
388
00:23:30,367 --> 00:23:33,161
Driving, I don't know,
10,000, 12,000 miles
389
00:23:33,161 --> 00:23:35,914
or whatever it is.
390
00:23:35,914 --> 00:23:38,875
It was a great adventure.
391
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:41,670
JIMMY: Super legendary trip.
392
00:23:42,712 --> 00:23:46,675
I mean, they
defined an entire era.
393
00:23:46,675 --> 00:23:50,303
They defined an
entire way of life.
394
00:23:51,471 --> 00:23:56,059
Climbing, surfing,
skiing un-skied peaks.
395
00:23:56,059 --> 00:23:59,229
And eventually climbing one
of the most difficult and
396
00:23:59,229 --> 00:24:02,816
significant first
ascents of their time.
397
00:24:04,651 --> 00:24:08,196
YVON: We spent 60 days
trying to climb Fitz Roy.
398
00:24:09,406 --> 00:24:12,868
We spent 31 days
in an ice cave.
399
00:24:13,785 --> 00:24:18,248
I think we had five days where
you had climbable weather.
400
00:24:23,378 --> 00:24:27,090
DOUG: I was gone for,
you know, nine months.
401
00:24:27,090 --> 00:24:29,217
Yvon Chouinard, an old
friend of mine and
402
00:24:29,217 --> 00:24:30,677
three other friends.
403
00:24:30,677 --> 00:24:33,096
We were in Chile
a very long time.
404
00:24:33,096 --> 00:24:36,558
YVON: We fell in love
with Patagonia, the area.
405
00:24:36,558 --> 00:24:39,686
That was my first
time in Patagonia.
406
00:24:39,686 --> 00:24:43,356
It was like the American
West of 100 years ago,
407
00:24:43,356 --> 00:24:46,359
but it was authentic.
408
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,905
So that trip was long
enough so that we really,
409
00:24:49,905 --> 00:24:52,866
it transformed our lives.
410
00:24:55,827 --> 00:24:59,414
RICK: When Yvon came down to
Patagonia, the place, in 1968
411
00:24:59,414 --> 00:25:04,252
with Doug Tompkins to
climb Fitz Roy, it was wild.
412
00:25:05,587 --> 00:25:07,923
Then we went back
exactly 20 years later.
413
00:25:07,923 --> 00:25:10,592
And, it was different.
414
00:25:10,592 --> 00:25:12,344
YVON: Look at this,
they got the streets all
415
00:25:12,344 --> 00:25:14,513
laid out and everything.
416
00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:16,306
MAN: They'll be opening up
a McDonald's and a Wimpy's.
417
00:25:16,306 --> 00:25:18,975
(laughs).
418
00:25:20,018 --> 00:25:22,187
RICK: The developers had laid
out the grid and put up the
419
00:25:22,187 --> 00:25:25,899
street signs for what
became the city of Chaiten.
420
00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:28,818
We also began to notice,
421
00:25:28,818 --> 00:25:31,321
way back, a long time ago,
422
00:25:31,321 --> 00:25:33,573
that things were warming up.
423
00:25:33,573 --> 00:25:36,159
We became aware that
the glaciers were
424
00:25:36,159 --> 00:25:37,953
starting to retreat.
425
00:25:37,953 --> 00:25:42,415
We started to learn
more about climate change.
426
00:25:42,999 --> 00:25:49,589
And Doug was like the first
guy to, to really sense that.
427
00:25:51,091 --> 00:25:53,969
EDGAR: I think it was a
dual aspect of his voracious
428
00:25:53,969 --> 00:25:57,180
reading and his being
introduced to certain people
429
00:25:57,180 --> 00:26:00,308
who led him to other books.
430
00:26:00,809 --> 00:26:03,061
YVON: He got very much
involved with deep ecology and
431
00:26:03,061 --> 00:26:07,566
it was a natural fit because
all these deep ecologists
432
00:26:07,566 --> 00:26:09,526
were all climbers.
433
00:26:09,526 --> 00:26:11,570
They saw nature
being destroyed and
434
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:15,031
if we destroy nature,
we destroy ourselves.
435
00:26:15,407 --> 00:26:19,452

simply looking at all life
436
00:26:19,452 --> 00:26:22,414
as being interconnected.
437
00:26:22,414 --> 00:26:26,209
All life has intrinsic value.

00:31:41,608 --> 00:31:43,776
{\an8}He was the same guy,
but a different guy.
518
00:31:43,776 --> 00:31:46,613
{\an8}I think a more
interesting guy, actually.
519
00:31:47,322 --> 00:31:51,743
RICK: Moving to South America
to commit to a project that
520
00:31:51,743 --> 00:31:55,580
seemed like a
dream of some sort.
521
00:31:55,580 --> 00:31:58,958
Because that was his mantra:
commit and then figure it out.
522
00:31:58,958 --> 00:32:00,752
And that's
exactly what he did.
523
00:32:00,752 --> 00:32:04,130
He committed
everything he had.
524
00:32:07,091 --> 00:32:08,885
{\an8}CAROLINA: He didn't
come here with a plan.
525
00:32:08,885 --> 00:32:11,471
{\an8}When he came to Chile
he just wanted to get out
526
00:32:11,471 --> 00:32:14,349
{\an8}of the Esprit business.
527
00:32:14,974 --> 00:32:18,144
And being a pilot, he realized
that all the farms were owned
528
00:32:18,144 --> 00:32:20,563
by absentee owners.
529
00:32:20,563 --> 00:32:23,983
So he bought, you know, little
farms from small farmers that
530
00:32:23,983 --> 00:32:26,819
they wanted to move on.
531
00:32:26,819 --> 00:32:31,074
Doug bought that 800
hectare farm, Renihue.
532
00:32:32,742 --> 00:32:37,038
DOUG: Well, right actually,
where we're sitting right now,
533
00:32:37,038 --> 00:32:38,831
I lived here
for a year and a half.
534
00:32:38,831 --> 00:32:43,127
This right here was the living
room and the kitchen,
535
00:32:43,127 --> 00:32:48,341
and dining room while I
fixed up the old main house
536
00:32:48,341 --> 00:32:50,051
across the way.
537
00:32:50,051 --> 00:32:52,720
And it was, you know,
no electricity,
538
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,557
we have ten feet by eight feet,
539
00:32:56,557 --> 00:32:59,644
or 12 feet by eight feet.
540
00:32:59,644 --> 00:33:02,939
And the, uh,
yeah, you know...
541
00:33:02,939 --> 00:33:04,524
YVON: Whatever.
DOUG: Whatever that is.
542
00:33:04,524 --> 00:33:07,318
(laughs).
543
00:33:08,069 --> 00:33:11,239
You've got two bedrooms,
this is a two bedroom house.
544
00:33:12,699 --> 00:33:15,076
EDGAR: He had a body of money.
545
00:33:15,076 --> 00:33:16,744
It wasn't billionaire money.
546
00:33:16,744 --> 00:33:19,080
It was a chunk, a big chunk.
547
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,040
Like 150 million.
548
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,628
And he could do a thing
and he chose a thing.
549
00:33:26,796 --> 00:33:30,216
CAROLINA: Our first approach
was to protect that land.
550
00:33:30,216 --> 00:33:33,636
But in those areas, where
there that was the possibility,
551
00:33:33,636 --> 00:33:36,305
was to build
demonstrative farms.
552
00:33:36,305 --> 00:33:39,559
Farms where we could show
ourselves, first of all,
553
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:43,062
and then the rest of the people
that maybe it was possible to
554
00:33:43,062 --> 00:33:45,982
live in this area,
not cutting the trees,
555
00:33:45,982 --> 00:33:49,277
that that wasn't your only
choice of living there.
556
00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:55,742
So we start in the farms,
we planted berries,
557
00:33:55,742 --> 00:33:59,912
developed honey,
and we made jams,
558
00:33:59,912 --> 00:34:02,790
and we had the sheep
and we got the wool.
559
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:06,961
And with the wool we created
a network of hand knit craft.
560
00:34:06,961 --> 00:34:08,212
Was that profitable?
561
00:34:08,212 --> 00:34:09,630
No, it wasn't.
562
00:34:09,630 --> 00:34:12,842
You know, every time we sold a
jar of honey, we gave you $5,
563
00:34:12,842 --> 00:34:15,136
Doug used to say that.
564
00:34:15,136 --> 00:34:17,555
But he said he could do that.
565
00:34:17,555 --> 00:34:21,517
He could choose to be
ecologically sustainable
566
00:34:21,517 --> 00:34:24,145
and maybe not
economically sustainable.
567
00:34:24,145 --> 00:34:27,148
And we had the chance to
provide work for many people.
568
00:34:35,323 --> 00:34:38,910
YVON: He used to rag on me in
that I should sell my company
569
00:34:38,910 --> 00:34:42,663
and do the same
thing he's doing,
570
00:34:42,663 --> 00:34:44,665
that he's doing the right thing
571
00:34:44,665 --> 00:34:46,292
and I'm doing the wrong thing.
572
00:34:46,292 --> 00:34:49,670
And I wanted to run my company
in a responsible way,
573
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:53,966
hanging on to my company
and using it as a tool.
574
00:34:56,052 --> 00:34:59,347
To do that, I said, okay
we got to reassess
575
00:34:59,347 --> 00:35:00,932
what we're doing here.
576
00:35:00,932 --> 00:35:02,266
Our new mission statement is
577
00:35:02,266 --> 00:35:04,352
'We're in business
to save our home planet.'
578
00:35:04,352 --> 00:35:08,481
And so I took a
dozen of our top people
579
00:35:08,481 --> 00:35:12,110
of the company and went
down to Patagonia.
580
00:35:15,613 --> 00:35:19,158
And that's when Doug
met Kris, that same trip.
581
00:35:19,158 --> 00:35:25,164
{\an8}♪ ♪
582
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,834
{\an8}KRIS: We were in Calafate,
583
00:35:27,834 --> 00:35:30,378
{\an8}which was then a
really tiny town.
584
00:35:30,878 --> 00:35:35,091
{\an8}We were in this restaurant
and in walks Doug Tompkins.
585
00:35:37,009 --> 00:35:40,596
And he comes over and he
plunks himself down next to me
586
00:35:40,596 --> 00:35:43,683
and says, Boom!
587
00:35:43,683 --> 00:35:46,227
"Hey, kid, how you doing?"
588
00:35:46,811 --> 00:35:49,105
And then he says,
this is classic Doug,
589
00:35:49,105 --> 00:35:50,940
he said, "What are you doing?"
590
00:35:50,940 --> 00:35:52,900
I said, "Well, we're
leaving tomorrow morning."
591
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:54,193
"Why are you leaving?"
592
00:35:54,193 --> 00:35:55,486
"This is the end
of this trip."
593
00:35:55,486 --> 00:35:58,739
"Yeah, but why?
Why don't you stay?
594
00:35:58,739 --> 00:36:00,491
In fact, why don't you stay,
595
00:36:00,491 --> 00:36:02,743
and I'll fly you back
to the United States."
596
00:36:02,743 --> 00:36:05,079
So I just said, "No,
and don't ask me again.
597
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:07,498
I'm not going to fly."
598
00:36:07,498 --> 00:36:09,834
And then he started calling
me from San Francisco
599
00:36:09,834 --> 00:36:11,961
once I was back and he was back.
600
00:36:11,961 --> 00:36:13,379
"Well, what are you doing?"
601
00:36:13,379 --> 00:36:15,339
Well, I'm, you know.
602
00:36:15,339 --> 00:36:17,592
I was involved with
someone else,
603
00:36:17,592 --> 00:36:21,804
but I knew that
that was cascading.
604
00:36:22,805 --> 00:36:25,600
And he's pretty charming.
605
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,603
He was very charming.
606
00:36:28,978 --> 00:36:30,229
RICK: Doug called
me up and said,
607
00:36:30,229 --> 00:36:32,857
"Hey, you know that
friend of yours, Kris?
608
00:36:32,857 --> 00:36:34,609
{\an8}She's a good, buddy
of yours, right?"
609
00:36:34,609 --> 00:36:35,776
{\an8}And I just go, "Oh, yeah.
610
00:36:35,776 --> 00:36:37,945
{\an8}She's one of my
closest friends.
611
00:36:37,945 --> 00:36:41,741
She's godmother to all
three of my children."
612
00:36:41,741 --> 00:36:45,161
And he goes, "Yeah.
What do you think of her?"
613
00:36:45,161 --> 00:36:48,372
So I, you know I told
him how great she was.
614
00:36:48,372 --> 00:36:51,167
And then literally the same
day Kris calls me up and goes,
615
00:36:51,167 --> 00:36:55,213
"Hey that guy friend of
Yvon's, Doug Tompkins.
616
00:36:55,213 --> 00:36:57,757
You've been climbing with
him for a while now, yeah?
617
00:36:57,757 --> 00:36:59,133
But you know what...
618
00:36:59,133 --> 00:37:00,384
What kind of guy is he?
619
00:37:00,384 --> 00:37:01,510
Do you know him very well?"
620
00:37:01,510 --> 00:37:03,804
And I went "Oh!"
621
00:37:03,804 --> 00:37:07,558
{\an8}YVON: I know my wife when she
heard that Doug was interested
622
00:37:07,558 --> 00:37:11,479
{\an8}in Kris was going,
"Oh my god, it's a disaster."
623
00:37:11,479 --> 00:37:15,566
Because she knew how he had
treated women in the past.
624
00:37:16,108 --> 00:37:17,693
{\an8}EDGAR: Doug was a wild,
young, bon vivant
625
00:37:17,693 --> 00:37:21,364
{\an8}with many, many liaisons.
626
00:37:21,364 --> 00:37:23,157
And when Kris was talking
to people about,
627
00:37:23,157 --> 00:37:24,450
'Is this a good thing?'
628
00:37:24,450 --> 00:37:25,993
And people who
knew Doug said,
629
00:37:25,993 --> 00:37:28,454
"No, Doug's changed,
this is going to be good.
630
00:37:28,454 --> 00:37:29,747
Doug's changed."
631
00:37:29,747 --> 00:37:31,874
Other women are going,
632
00:37:31,874 --> 00:37:35,836
"Oh, man, you don't want him
to get near him, this is crazy."
633
00:37:36,754 --> 00:37:38,923
RICK: There was a part of
Doug that was like an ass.
634
00:37:38,923 --> 00:37:42,426
So we were a
little bit nervous.
635
00:37:51,394 --> 00:37:54,230
KRIS: I started working
with Yvon, I was so young.
636
00:37:54,230 --> 00:37:58,567
I think 23 years of that.
637
00:37:58,567 --> 00:38:01,821
I just, I just thought,
638
00:38:01,821 --> 00:38:06,117
I can't, I don't want
to do this anymore.
639
00:38:07,451 --> 00:38:10,705
I was done.
640
00:38:10,705 --> 00:38:13,749
I was done with my life.
641
00:38:13,749 --> 00:38:15,626
Most people think of it,
when I say those things,
642
00:38:15,626 --> 00:38:18,671
that I'm always talking
about Patagonia.
643
00:38:18,671 --> 00:38:19,922
That's not what
I'm talking about.
644
00:38:19,922 --> 00:38:21,924
I'm talking about me.
645
00:38:21,924 --> 00:38:25,344
My life was over.
646
00:38:25,344 --> 00:38:28,764
I had to change it.
647
00:38:30,224 --> 00:38:33,561
I just thought there has to
be something else out there,
648
00:38:33,561 --> 00:38:36,605
something bigger.
649
00:38:38,441 --> 00:38:40,818
Doug would call me
from time to time.
650
00:38:40,818 --> 00:38:42,903
And one night I said, "Well,
I'm going to go to Paris to
651
00:38:42,903 --> 00:38:44,447
work out of the Paris office."
652
00:38:44,447 --> 00:38:47,742
And he goes, "Great.
I'll see you over there."
653
00:38:54,874 --> 00:38:58,294
And true to his form,
he's in Paris.
654
00:38:58,294 --> 00:39:02,256
We go out to dinner, his
favorite restaurant in Paris.
655
00:39:02,256 --> 00:39:06,302
And we're walking around,
walking all around Paris.
656
00:39:06,302 --> 00:39:09,430
He said, "Come
see me in Chile."
657
00:39:09,430 --> 00:39:11,974
I said, "No.
Absolutely not.
658
00:39:11,974 --> 00:39:14,477
You're a world
famous sandbagger."
659
00:39:14,477 --> 00:39:19,648
And he stopped and
looked down at his feet,
660
00:39:19,648 --> 00:39:22,610
and then looked
back up at me and said,
661
00:39:22,610 --> 00:39:26,322
"I will never let anything
happen to you."
662
00:39:27,615 --> 00:39:31,952
It was one of those moments that
you see somebody transform,
663
00:39:31,952 --> 00:39:35,664
even in their own mind.
664
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:40,252
I mean, much later, he said he
knew exactly, that was it,
665
00:39:40,252 --> 00:39:42,004
and so did I.
666
00:39:42,004 --> 00:39:43,589
I thought to myself,
667
00:39:43,589 --> 00:39:47,551
"that's the man I was
supposed to marry."
668
00:39:47,551 --> 00:39:50,554
But it was crazy,
really crazy.
669
00:39:50,554 --> 00:39:52,973
I was engaged to
another person,
670
00:39:52,973 --> 00:39:58,020
so I ended up
leaving that fiancé.
671
00:39:59,021 --> 00:40:03,067
Then I went down to Chile to
visit with Doug for ten days
672
00:40:03,067 --> 00:40:05,986
and I stayed five weeks.
673
00:40:05,986 --> 00:40:08,739
It was chemistry.
674
00:40:08,739 --> 00:40:12,326
When, um, you get
hit by lightning.
675
00:40:13,285 --> 00:40:16,288
I'm going to
leave my role as CEO.
676
00:40:16,288 --> 00:40:20,626
And we are currently looking
for someone to replace me.
677
00:40:20,626 --> 00:40:26,298
My hope is to have someone in
place by October, train them,
678
00:40:26,298 --> 00:40:30,302
have them shadow me day
to day for three months.
679
00:40:30,302 --> 00:40:37,143
And then January 1st, I bug
out and likely go to Chile,
680
00:40:37,143 --> 00:40:41,063
which is where I'm
thinking that my home will be.
681
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:47,403
I mean, I blew up my whole...
682
00:40:47,403 --> 00:40:48,487
(laughs).
683
00:40:48,487 --> 00:40:50,114
It was scandalous.
684
00:40:50,114 --> 00:40:53,909
I just blew up
my personal life.
685
00:40:54,618 --> 00:40:56,620
But I was right.
686
00:40:56,620 --> 00:40:58,038
It turned out to
be the great thing.
687
00:40:58,038 --> 00:40:59,665
And it was a big
leap of faith.
688
00:40:59,665 --> 00:41:03,252
I mean, it could easily
have gone either way.
689
00:41:03,252 --> 00:41:07,047
This was insane,
what we were doing.
690
00:41:12,678 --> 00:41:15,264
KRIS (over radio): This is
Doug's and my first date.
691
00:41:15,264 --> 00:41:19,393
I just remember thinking,
"Oh, God, what have I done?"
692
00:41:20,603 --> 00:41:25,274
And this farm where
we're headed now,
693
00:41:25,274 --> 00:41:30,196
was absolutely cut off.
694
00:41:33,782 --> 00:41:36,785
KRIS: April 4th, 1994.
695
00:41:36,785 --> 00:41:39,288
Incredible
property Doug has here.
696
00:41:39,288 --> 00:41:41,415
Entire peninsula.
697
00:41:41,415 --> 00:41:43,167
Beautiful glaciers.
698
00:41:43,167 --> 00:41:46,837
Falls, rivers.
699
00:41:47,505 --> 00:41:50,174
April 5th, 1994.
700
00:41:50,174 --> 00:41:52,968
Ice on our sleeping
bags in the morning.
701
00:41:52,968 --> 00:41:55,763
Incredibly clear
and beautiful.
702
00:41:55,763 --> 00:41:58,724
We head south through
Coyhaique Forest.
703
00:41:58,724 --> 00:42:00,768
Sleep at Hotel Nires,
704
00:42:00,768 --> 00:42:02,228
no dinner,
705
00:42:02,228 --> 00:42:04,647
and snuggle to sleep.
706
00:42:06,732 --> 00:42:08,067
May 20th.
707
00:42:08,067 --> 00:42:11,403
Storm now at
fourth day, no let up.
708
00:42:11,403 --> 00:42:15,032
Water being pushed into the
house for force of the winds.
709
00:42:15,032 --> 00:42:17,826
Up at 2 A.M. to tie
down the chimney
710
00:42:17,826 --> 00:42:20,746
and kill a giant rat.
711
00:42:20,746 --> 00:42:23,832
No chance of leaving.
712
00:42:25,251 --> 00:42:27,419
{\an8}MELINDA: There were
no telephones,
713
00:42:27,419 --> 00:42:30,339
{\an8}no way to get in and
no way to get out.
714
00:42:30,339 --> 00:42:33,217
{\an8}So she was isolated with Doug.
715
00:42:38,472 --> 00:42:42,476
KRIS: We're in our 40s and we
want to do all of these things
716
00:42:42,476 --> 00:42:44,853
and they're big and
they're difficult and
717
00:42:44,853 --> 00:42:48,232
there's not a lot of
history out there
718
00:42:48,232 --> 00:42:49,567
of other people doing them.
719
00:42:49,567 --> 00:42:52,570
So you don't, you're sort of
making it up as you go along.
720
00:42:52,570 --> 00:42:56,282
And it was a new marriage.
721
00:42:56,657 --> 00:43:00,703
You just hope that the fibers
of that marriage can withstand
722
00:43:00,703 --> 00:43:05,749
the pressures of working
together, living together
723
00:43:05,749 --> 00:43:09,169
in these intense circumstances.
724
00:43:10,671 --> 00:43:16,760
♪ ♪
725
00:43:20,222 --> 00:43:27,021
(singing in Spanish)
726
00:43:31,734 --> 00:43:37,031
(applause)
727
00:43:37,948 --> 00:43:40,951
CAROLINA: At the beginning,
the first part was to make
728
00:43:40,951 --> 00:43:43,162
a nature sanctuary.
729
00:43:43,162 --> 00:43:45,331
It was a way to
protect the land.
730
00:43:45,331 --> 00:43:50,252
But some year along the way,
uh, Doug and Kris developed
731
00:43:50,252 --> 00:43:55,007
this idea of creating national
parks and our work took a
732
00:43:55,007 --> 00:43:57,885
really big shift then.
733
00:44:01,764 --> 00:44:04,141
KRIS: So this is
where we got started.
734
00:44:04,141 --> 00:44:06,018
This is where we were living.
735
00:44:06,018 --> 00:44:08,937
And all of this section became
Pumalín, from the border with
736
00:44:08,937 --> 00:44:12,441
Argentina all the way out
to the Pacific Ocean.
737
00:44:12,441 --> 00:44:13,984
This is the first one.
738
00:44:13,984 --> 00:44:19,365
We bought 763,000 acres
and it increased from there.
739
00:44:19,365 --> 00:44:22,660
None of this is
ever done in a vacuum.
740
00:44:22,660 --> 00:44:28,749
We go out immediately and
talk to everybody, mayors,
741
00:44:28,749 --> 00:44:31,210
everybody involved.
742
00:44:31,210 --> 00:44:33,045
So there's a lot of suspicion.
743
00:44:33,045 --> 00:44:36,882
And many times a
lot of pushback.
744
00:44:38,133 --> 00:44:41,095
DOUG: We're coming to
talk to the mayor here.
745
00:44:41,095 --> 00:44:44,807
We want to explain to her what
the idea of donating this land
746
00:44:44,807 --> 00:44:46,975
that's out in her district.
747
00:44:46,975 --> 00:44:49,269
I think that, you know,
she'll be supportive of this,
748
00:44:49,269 --> 00:44:51,605
she understands
about conservation.
749
00:44:51,605 --> 00:44:53,524
MAN: The project is
to create the national park
750
00:44:53,524 --> 00:44:56,610
starting at Cabo Leon and
include the nature reserve.
751
00:44:57,277 --> 00:44:59,488
DOUG: We have to say
"we have a national park"
752
00:44:59,738 --> 00:45:04,034
because national parks create
their own touristic pull.
753
00:45:06,328 --> 00:45:09,123
KRIS: In this area, this is
all temperate rainforest.
754
00:45:09,123 --> 00:45:11,375
It's impenetrable.
755
00:45:11,375 --> 00:45:15,337
So the opposition was largely
from the federal government
756
00:45:15,337 --> 00:45:16,839
at this point.
757
00:45:16,839 --> 00:45:22,553
This is where five years of
serious political and
758
00:45:22,553 --> 00:45:25,139
social conflict took place.
759
00:45:26,682 --> 00:45:28,517
INTERVIEWER: What is it
you don't like about
760
00:45:28,517 --> 00:45:30,352
Douglas Tompkins' project?
761
00:45:30,352 --> 00:45:32,020
JAIME: They don't
want any progress.
762
00:45:32,688 --> 00:45:34,648
We are a poor country,
763
00:45:35,149 --> 00:45:36,984
we need the progress
764
00:45:37,401 --> 00:45:41,613
to raise our standard.
765
00:45:41,613 --> 00:45:44,116
{\an8}RODRIGO: We were coming from
a dictatorship in the country
766
00:45:44,116 --> 00:45:45,367
{\an8}for 20 years,
767
00:45:45,367 --> 00:45:48,954
so there's a hardcore
right wing politicians
768
00:45:48,954 --> 00:45:51,915
that wouldn't understand
the philanthropy.
769
00:45:52,875 --> 00:45:54,877
NEWSPERSON: Chile is a country
that has good reason to be
770
00:45:54,877 --> 00:45:56,128
suspect of Americans.
771
00:45:56,128 --> 00:45:58,046
(explosion)
772
00:45:58,464 --> 00:46:01,258
In 1973, the Nixon
administration supported
773
00:46:01,258 --> 00:46:04,428
{\an8}the coup that began 17 years
of brutal dictatorship
774
00:46:04,428 --> 00:46:07,473
{\an8}under General Augusto Pinochet.
775
00:46:07,473 --> 00:46:09,767
Yet when the Tompkins began
assembling cheap wilderness
776
00:46:09,767 --> 00:46:11,727
land for conservation here,
777
00:46:11,727 --> 00:46:15,522
they were stunned to be
labeled ugly Americans.
778
00:46:16,106 --> 00:46:18,150
ANDRES: To be fair, at the
same time, you know,
779
00:46:18,150 --> 00:46:20,903
Chile is a very long and
very thin country.
780
00:46:20,903 --> 00:46:25,449
{\an8}And Doug and Kris were
buying a lot of land,
781
00:46:25,449 --> 00:46:27,701
{\an8}which, you know, amounted to
782
00:46:27,701 --> 00:46:30,287
{\an8}a good chunk of
one of Chile's regions.
783
00:46:30,996 --> 00:46:33,624
PEDRO: The main concern
of the military and the navy was
784
00:46:33,624 --> 00:46:37,461
having Mr. Tompkins owning
such an amount of foreign land
785
00:46:37,461 --> 00:46:40,380
that went from the
border to the ocean.
786
00:46:40,380 --> 00:46:43,634
So he was accused of cutting
the country in two pieces
787
00:46:44,134 --> 00:46:47,346
EDGAR: Now the right wing
in Chile was going
788
00:46:47,346 --> 00:46:48,472
through the roof,
789
00:46:48,472 --> 00:46:51,558
trying to figure out
ways to deal with this.
790
00:46:51,975 --> 00:46:55,646
KRIS: March 13, 1995.
791
00:46:55,646 --> 00:46:58,065
Virtually every
newspaper around Chile and
792
00:46:58,065 --> 00:47:01,193
all television stations
covering us last night
793
00:47:01,193 --> 00:47:03,362
and again this morning.
794
00:47:03,362 --> 00:47:05,572
Heavy attacks from
the ultra right wing
795
00:47:05,572 --> 00:47:09,785
and the salmon industry.
796
00:47:10,452 --> 00:47:12,538
We were taking up
the fight against
797
00:47:12,538 --> 00:47:15,165
commercial salmon farming.
798
00:47:16,834 --> 00:47:18,502
DOUG: These are fish farms.
799
00:47:18,502 --> 00:47:22,339
These are the equivalent
of uh, hog farms.
800
00:47:22,339 --> 00:47:24,424
You go down to the ocean floor,
you'll see underneath
801
00:47:24,424 --> 00:47:27,469
these cages here, a dead sea.
802
00:47:27,469 --> 00:47:30,138
Marine ecology
has been smothered.
803
00:47:30,138 --> 00:47:33,267
Nothing's living
under these cages.
804
00:47:33,267 --> 00:47:37,187
CAROLINA: The sea lions would
go towards the cages to eat.
805
00:47:37,187 --> 00:47:42,693
So we used to find sea lions
dead with gunshots on the beach.
806
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,407
KRIS: Doug put a
wanted dead or alive.
807
00:47:48,407 --> 00:47:53,495
We'll give anyone $2500
that leads to the guy
808
00:47:53,495 --> 00:47:56,498
who's killing the sea lions.
809
00:47:56,498 --> 00:47:59,793
And that was
just gas on a fire.
810
00:48:00,335 --> 00:48:03,171
April 21st, 1995.
811
00:48:03,171 --> 00:48:06,633
More attacks in the
newspaper against Doug and me.
812
00:48:07,092 --> 00:48:10,554
It's beginning to seem a
clear threat to our life here.
813
00:48:12,222 --> 00:48:14,308
October 17th.
814
00:48:14,308 --> 00:48:16,602
Phones tapped for sure now.
815
00:48:16,602 --> 00:48:20,355
New allegations against us
coming from the military.
816
00:48:20,355 --> 00:48:23,025
Wondering what will fall next.
817
00:48:23,025 --> 00:48:25,944
Worried for Doug's safety.
818
00:48:26,528 --> 00:48:28,697
YVON: They had to hide out
in the American embassy
819
00:48:28,697 --> 00:48:29,948
for a while.
820
00:48:29,948 --> 00:48:31,241
They had death threats.
821
00:48:31,241 --> 00:48:35,162
The FBI told us, my wife and I,
that our phone was tapped.
822
00:48:35,537 --> 00:48:38,040
You know, we were
friends of the Tompkins.
823
00:48:39,958 --> 00:48:43,420
BELISARIO: The government
isn't harassing him.
824
00:48:44,755 --> 00:48:46,673
CLAUDIO: Well, there was
a lot of suspicion.
825
00:48:46,924 --> 00:48:53,180
It seemed to be the first step
in acquiring cheap land
826
00:48:53,180 --> 00:48:56,934
to then sell at higher prices.
827
00:48:57,976 --> 00:49:02,189
So, the collective imagination
gives rise to many things.
828
00:49:03,148 --> 00:49:06,777
{\an8}MICHELLE: At that time I
was minister, yes, minister.
829
00:49:06,777 --> 00:49:09,404
{\an8}And I was
studying defense issues.
830
00:49:09,404 --> 00:49:11,990
{\an8}And the military had
all kinds of theories,
831
00:49:11,990 --> 00:49:14,242
that this was Israel
who was trying to
832
00:49:14,242 --> 00:49:17,496
take power of
Chile, etc., etc...
833
00:49:17,496 --> 00:49:20,415
KRIS: We were accused of
creating a new nuclear waste
834
00:49:20,415 --> 00:49:23,085
site for the United States,
835
00:49:23,085 --> 00:49:24,670
a new Jewish state,
836
00:49:24,670 --> 00:49:27,381
even though we were
raised as Anglicans,
837
00:49:27,381 --> 00:49:29,466
a new base for the
Argentine military
838
00:49:29,466 --> 00:49:32,928
to come in and finish
Chile off once and for all.
839
00:49:32,928 --> 00:49:35,055
A really good one was that
we were going to take all the
840
00:49:35,055 --> 00:49:37,474
cattle out of southern Chile
and replace it with
841
00:49:37,474 --> 00:49:39,768
American bison.
842
00:49:40,644 --> 00:49:42,646
INTERVIEWER: Between the two
of you with all your projects
843
00:49:42,646 --> 00:49:46,233
in Chile and Argentina, how
many acres are we talking?
844
00:49:46,233 --> 00:49:47,943
DOUG: About 2 million.
845
00:49:47,943 --> 00:49:49,111
INTERVIEWER: 2 million?
846
00:49:49,111 --> 00:49:50,737
KRIS: Yeah, just
under 2 million.
847
00:49:50,737 --> 00:49:52,406
INTERVIEWER: It's an
awful lot of acres.
848
00:49:52,406 --> 00:49:54,074
KRIS: It's peanuts.
849
00:49:54,074 --> 00:49:59,079
If you weigh it against what's
being saved on an annual basis
850
00:49:59,079 --> 00:50:01,999
versus what's been destroyed.
851
00:50:01,999 --> 00:50:05,002
We're on the losing team.
852
00:50:07,754 --> 00:50:12,009
{\an8}We're losing wilderness at the
rate of 40 million acres a year.
853
00:50:15,637 --> 00:50:18,306
{\an8}At this rate, we'll lose
all wilderness within
854
00:50:18,306 --> 00:50:20,767
{\an8}the next 50 years.
855
00:50:22,060 --> 00:50:24,896
{\an8}People can say, "Oh, the
Tompkins have protected over
856
00:50:24,896 --> 00:50:27,107
{\an8}2 million acres of land."
857
00:50:27,107 --> 00:50:29,234
{\an8}And it is a lot of land,
858
00:50:29,234 --> 00:50:31,236
{\an8}but it's a drop in the
bucket compared to
859
00:50:31,236 --> 00:50:34,364
{\an8}what's taking place every day,
860
00:50:34,364 --> 00:50:36,783
{\an8}whether it's in the
forests in Indonesia
861
00:50:36,783 --> 00:50:40,871
{\an8}or grasslands in Eastern Africa,
wherever it is.
862
00:50:41,830 --> 00:50:44,541
It's not as though we
are gaining ground.
863
00:50:44,541 --> 00:50:47,711
We're just trying to
hold back the onslaught.
864
00:50:49,546 --> 00:50:53,967
We're at this perfect storm of
rising human population base,
865
00:50:53,967 --> 00:50:57,596
rising consumption and a
fall in natural resources.
866
00:50:57,596 --> 00:51:01,058
And yet anybody who could
really change some of that,
867
00:51:01,058 --> 00:51:05,020
they're unwilling to because
the cultural impact of those
868
00:51:05,020 --> 00:51:08,065
changes is just too
much for them to consider.
869
00:51:12,819 --> 00:51:16,323
When we tried to make
Corcovado Park,
870
00:51:16,323 --> 00:51:19,451
we ran straight
into the military.
871
00:51:20,035 --> 00:51:22,704
A lot of what would eventually
become the park was
872
00:51:22,704 --> 00:51:24,623
owned by the military.
873
00:51:24,623 --> 00:51:28,668
And they were using the
area as a bombing range.
874
00:51:32,047 --> 00:51:36,259
Doug was meeting with Generals
to try to convince them to
875
00:51:36,259 --> 00:51:40,055
preserve this place
and stop the bombing.
876
00:51:45,060 --> 00:51:48,105
Before we go to the government
to make an offer,
877
00:51:48,105 --> 00:51:51,358
we're completely prepared
saying this is what
878
00:51:51,358 --> 00:51:53,318
we have invested in the land.
879
00:51:53,819 --> 00:51:56,947
(speaking Spanish)
880
00:51:56,947 --> 00:51:58,740
We said to the government,
881
00:51:58,740 --> 00:52:02,077
we'll donate our park with
all the infrastructure
882
00:52:02,077 --> 00:52:07,624
if you match one of our acres
with up to nine acres of
883
00:52:07,624 --> 00:52:10,710
unused federal land.
884
00:52:12,129 --> 00:52:16,842
That leveraging allows us to
do something much greater than
885
00:52:16,842 --> 00:52:20,595
what would have been possible
for us to do by ourselves.
886
00:52:23,515 --> 00:52:26,768
{\an8}Patagonia Park was another
very contentious project.
887
00:52:27,769 --> 00:52:31,148
We bought several thousand
acres in Argentina and then we
888
00:52:31,148 --> 00:52:35,986
bought an old estancia,
and 200,000 acres in Chile.
889
00:52:36,528 --> 00:52:39,156
We had an idea that this park
could eventually go across the
890
00:52:39,156 --> 00:52:40,866
border to Argentina,
891
00:52:40,866 --> 00:52:44,494
to protect a couple of
million acres in total.
892
00:52:44,494 --> 00:52:47,789
In the case of the
nearby communities,
893
00:52:47,789 --> 00:52:51,710
it was by and large
a ranching story.
894
00:52:51,710 --> 00:52:55,046
And some people were upset
that we would be taking one of
895
00:52:55,046 --> 00:52:58,300
the largest ranches in
Chile out of production.
896
00:53:02,179 --> 00:53:06,933
And when we got to Ibera, it
was incredibly challenging.
897
00:53:10,353 --> 00:53:11,855
REPORTER (over TV): Some
residents say that they've
898
00:53:11,855 --> 00:53:14,691
been displaced and then
ignored by the people they
899
00:53:14,691 --> 00:53:17,360
sometimes refer
to as eco-barons.
900
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:22,115
WOMAN: We don't believe
Tompkins is a multimillionaire
901
00:53:22,115 --> 00:53:26,494
who suddenly turned
into a philanthropist.
902
00:53:28,205 --> 00:53:30,874
KRIS: There were also disputes
about land deeds and titles
903
00:53:30,874 --> 00:53:33,084
around Pumalín.
904
00:53:34,544 --> 00:53:38,131
CLAUDIO: The 1 or 2%,
which would represent
905
00:53:38,131 --> 00:53:41,509
approximately 200 families,
906
00:53:41,509 --> 00:53:47,057
they felt their presence in the
area was being "threatened".
907
00:53:48,767 --> 00:53:52,062
KRIS: We spent five years going
out and getting everyone their
908
00:53:52,062 --> 00:53:55,065
land titles, so that they
would be comfortable,
909
00:53:55,065 --> 00:53:58,109
so there would be
no question about
910
00:53:58,109 --> 00:54:02,155
what's yours and
what belongs to the park.
911
00:54:03,198 --> 00:54:06,534
DOUG: I'll say that we're as
good as anybody in the country,
912
00:54:06,534 --> 00:54:10,705
uh, about how we have
dealt with land disputes.
913
00:54:10,705 --> 00:54:12,624
NEWSPERSON: Is that the
one that hurts the most?
914
00:54:12,624 --> 00:54:15,043
DOUG: That's the one that
hurts the most because, um,
915
00:54:15,043 --> 00:54:17,629
it's been just the
absolute opposite.
916
00:54:18,046 --> 00:54:20,006
KRIS: It wasn't only
individuals and some
917
00:54:20,006 --> 00:54:22,425
politicians who were opposed,
918
00:54:22,425 --> 00:54:25,595
but there were some
institutions as well.
919
00:54:25,595 --> 00:54:28,348
NEWSPERSON: Opposition to the
Tompkins is being fermented
920
00:54:28,348 --> 00:54:32,143
by none other than
the Catholic church.
921
00:54:32,143 --> 00:54:35,647
This is the missing
link of Pumalín Park.
922
00:54:35,647 --> 00:54:38,441
30,000 hectares of land owned
by the Catholic Church
923
00:54:38,441 --> 00:54:40,360
known as Winai.
924
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:44,114
Douglas Tompkins came
this close to getting Winai.
925
00:54:44,489 --> 00:54:46,199
DOUG: What happened was,
pressure was put on the
926
00:54:46,199 --> 00:54:48,576
Catholic University not to
sell to us, and they sold to
927
00:54:48,576 --> 00:54:49,995
the power company,
928
00:54:49,995 --> 00:54:52,205
to Endesa, the
big power monopoly.
929
00:54:52,205 --> 00:54:54,124
NEWSPERSON: That would seem
pretty spiteful thing to do.
930
00:54:54,124 --> 00:54:56,835
DOUG: It was, it was.
931
00:54:58,586 --> 00:55:01,423
KRIS: Okay, but this property
down on Lago General Carreras,
932
00:55:01,423 --> 00:55:02,632
are we buying that?
933
00:55:02,632 --> 00:55:03,675
DOUG: Yeah.
934
00:55:03,675 --> 00:55:04,509
PEDRO: They had to have
935
00:55:04,509 --> 00:55:07,053
a lot of faith in
what they were doing.
936
00:55:07,595 --> 00:55:11,933
98% of the people would
have simply given up and said,
937
00:55:11,933 --> 00:55:14,436
"Impossible to live
in your country"
938
00:55:14,436 --> 00:55:19,441
Because we behaved,
Chileans, very badly.
939
00:55:25,447 --> 00:55:29,826
KRIS: February 25th,
everyday more news to bear.
940
00:55:30,535 --> 00:55:34,497
Doug completely overpowered
with anger and frustration.
941
00:55:34,497 --> 00:55:37,584
And my nerves are frayed.
942
00:55:37,584 --> 00:55:39,711
Why are we doing this?
943
00:55:39,711 --> 00:55:43,173
I go home to serious confrontation,
944
00:55:43,173 --> 00:55:47,969
a lot of crying, honesty
and a loving response.
945
00:55:50,430 --> 00:55:53,641
DOUG: I'm thinking about
maybe filling all of this up
946
00:55:53,892 --> 00:55:56,895
but I don't want something
that is too straight
947
00:55:59,022 --> 00:56:00,565
Like that, and
then it curves out.
948
00:56:00,565 --> 00:56:04,027
That way it has a
natural appearance.
949
00:56:05,570 --> 00:56:08,656
DOUG: I believe
in public access.
950
00:56:08,656 --> 00:56:11,826
We have to build public
access infrastructure.
951
00:56:12,827 --> 00:56:15,455
You have visitor centers,
you have campgrounds,
952
00:56:15,455 --> 00:56:18,541
even hotels, parking areas,
953
00:56:18,541 --> 00:56:20,085
trails, trailheads,
954
00:56:20,085 --> 00:56:23,546
offices for administration, signage.
955
00:56:23,546 --> 00:56:26,674
You've got all that kind
of stuff that goes into
956
00:56:26,674 --> 00:56:28,343
making up a national park.
957
00:56:28,343 --> 00:56:30,678
(speaking Spanish)
958
00:56:30,678 --> 00:56:33,723
RICK: He was such
a perfectionist.
959
00:56:34,349 --> 00:56:36,726
When he ran Esprit he had a
little sign above his desk
960
00:56:36,726 --> 00:56:40,605
that said,
"no detail is small."
961
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:45,318
DAGO: Doug was convinced
that a world without beauty
962
00:56:45,318 --> 00:56:46,653
wasn't worth it.
963
00:56:48,446 --> 00:56:50,407
KRIS: You have to remember
that for Doug,
964
00:56:50,407 --> 00:56:53,326
these are canvases.
965
00:56:55,120 --> 00:57:00,375
And what he did do is
he created a dogged,
966
00:57:00,375 --> 00:57:04,421
relentless pursuit of beauty.
967
00:57:05,463 --> 00:57:08,883
DOUG: The tractor
driver is like an artist.
968
00:57:09,342 --> 00:57:13,638
You can paint the landscape
with the tractor
969
00:57:14,305 --> 00:57:18,101
but you must have
good technique.
970
00:57:18,351 --> 00:57:21,229
Because later we are
going to take a photo
971
00:57:21,229 --> 00:57:25,066
and see your work, the work.
972
00:57:34,993 --> 00:57:38,037
KRIS: When we first began to
work in Chile and Argentina,
973
00:57:38,037 --> 00:57:43,543
we thought we were just
protecting vast territories.
974
00:57:44,752 --> 00:57:47,672
But in fact,
it's like they say,
975
00:57:47,672 --> 00:57:52,552
landscape without wildlife
is just scenery.
976
00:57:54,929 --> 00:57:57,765
Everything changed
when we got to Ibera.
977
00:57:58,016 --> 00:58:01,269
We realized that a lot of
species were missing
978
00:58:01,269 --> 00:58:03,605
from the jaguars
all the way down.
979
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:05,982
We were no longer
in the business of
980
00:58:05,982 --> 00:58:08,193
making National Parks.
981
00:58:08,193 --> 00:58:10,028
We were in the
business of creating
982
00:58:10,028 --> 00:58:13,323
fully functioning ecosystems.
983
00:58:13,323 --> 00:58:15,700
Time to rewild.
984
00:58:18,077 --> 00:58:21,998
Simply put, rewilding is
bringing back the species
985
00:58:21,998 --> 00:58:27,337
that belong in a place but have
been lost for whatever reason.
986
00:58:28,922 --> 00:58:32,926
Poaching, hunting,
grazing of livestock.
987
00:58:34,344 --> 00:58:38,515
CRISTIÁN: Each species plays a
major role in the ecosystem.
988
00:58:39,307 --> 00:58:42,393
So that guanacos
are in large numbers
989
00:58:42,810 --> 00:58:44,812
to provide food for pumas,
990
00:58:45,313 --> 00:58:47,315
Pumas are preying on guanacos
991
00:58:47,315 --> 00:58:49,567
and are providing
food for scavengers.
992
00:58:50,443 --> 00:58:54,864
It's not merely the recovery
of a single species
993
00:58:55,448 --> 00:58:58,451
it's the interaction.
994
00:58:59,536 --> 00:59:01,621
The rewilding program has
995
00:59:01,621 --> 00:59:03,706
our park wardens
996
00:59:03,706 --> 00:59:05,667
many of them are former cowboys
997
00:59:06,125 --> 00:59:09,420
but today they are
monitoring pumas.
998
00:59:14,551 --> 00:59:17,929
KRIS: Arcelio was the son
of the Chief Puma hunter.
999
00:59:17,929 --> 00:59:19,806
So he would go out
with his father
1000
00:59:19,806 --> 00:59:22,100
and they were paid a salary,
1001
00:59:22,100 --> 00:59:24,435
but they were paid a bonus for
every skin they brought back.
1002
00:59:24,811 --> 00:59:29,065
KRIS: What would your father
think if he could see you now...
1003
00:59:29,065 --> 00:59:31,150
doing all of this?
1004
00:59:33,987 --> 00:59:35,446
With so many pumas!
1005
00:59:35,446 --> 00:59:37,323
ARCELIO: With so many
pumas without killing them!
1006
00:59:37,323 --> 00:59:39,450
KRIS: Without killing
any of them!
1007
00:59:39,701 --> 00:59:41,160
It's a shift!
1008
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,955
ARCELIO: Of course it's a shift.
It's a huge shift for me!
1009
00:59:46,624 --> 00:59:49,085
DOUG: From an ethical
standpoint, we have to serve
1010
00:59:49,085 --> 00:59:51,963
biodiversity as a principle.
1011
00:59:51,963 --> 00:59:53,965
We have to share the
planet with other creatures.
1012
00:59:53,965 --> 00:59:58,136
That means we have to
make habitat available for
1013
00:59:58,136 --> 01:00:01,055
evolution to
continue to unfold.
1014
01:00:01,806 --> 01:00:03,141
We are squeezing out creatures
1015

from their habitat
by over-expanding.
1016
01:00:06,227 --> 01:00:08,646
It's a self defeating
development and
1017
01:00:08,646 --> 01:00:11,107
that's what we find
is pathological.
1018
01:00:11,107 --> 01:00:13,192
That we're continuing to
expand and expand and expand
1019

01:00:48,895 --> 01:00:50,480
And, you know, traditionally,
1027
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:52,065
when you make the
first ascent of a mountain,
1028
01:00:52,065 --> 01:00:54,776
you get to name it.
1029
01:00:54,776 --> 01:00:58,321
And Doug named it after Kris.
1030
01:00:58,321 --> 01:01:01,032
Great, great, great push.
1031
01:01:01,032 --> 01:01:04,035
That was huge!
1032
01:01:04,035 --> 01:01:08,706
KRIS: So, Kristine is the
highest point in the park and
1033
01:01:08,706 --> 01:01:12,126
sort of the crown jewel.
1034
01:01:12,377 --> 01:01:14,879
RICK: You know, you can't do
a better Valentine's present
1035
01:01:14,879 --> 01:01:17,548
than that for your wife.
1036
01:01:18,424 --> 01:01:21,803
KRIS: Yeah, he was always
doing stuff like that for me.
1037
01:01:24,889 --> 01:01:26,391
{\an8}RODRIGO: No, they were
intense, but they were totally
1038
01:01:26,391 --> 01:01:29,435
{\an8}deep in love, you could tell.
1039
01:01:29,852 --> 01:01:32,522
He was always taking
care of her and likewise.
1040
01:01:34,107 --> 01:01:36,651
TIMMY: I mean, you would see
them together and it was like
1041
01:01:36,651 --> 01:01:41,155
{\an8}teenage kids, you know, like
off in the corner, canoodling.
1042
01:01:42,031 --> 01:01:44,450
It was all about love.
1043
01:01:45,201 --> 01:01:48,287
LITO: I think virtually every
day he would send her
1044
01:01:48,287 --> 01:01:50,123
these messages.
1045
01:01:50,123 --> 01:01:52,959
They were photo messages.
1046
01:01:53,376 --> 01:01:55,420
{\an8}EDGAR: They had their
nicknames for each other
1047
01:01:55,420 --> 01:01:58,256
and she was 'Birdy'.
1048
01:01:58,256 --> 01:02:04,595
LITO: I can recall, vividly,
a really lovely DVD he made.
1049
01:02:07,473 --> 01:02:10,268
DOUG: The love of my life
is a world class woman
1050
01:02:10,268 --> 01:02:12,603
for all seasons.
1051
01:02:12,603 --> 01:02:16,441
She's so beautiful at 60.
1052
01:02:16,441 --> 01:02:18,693
You are my
number one and only.
1053
01:02:26,033 --> 01:02:28,828
YVON: That's a secret side
of Doug I never saw, but...
1054
01:02:28,828 --> 01:02:31,456
(laughs).
1055
01:02:34,917 --> 01:02:36,627
RICK: There it is.
1056
01:02:36,627 --> 01:02:38,129
It's quite a peak, huh?
1057
01:02:38,129 --> 01:02:39,964
KRIS: It is.
1058
01:02:39,964 --> 01:02:43,134
I'm so happy to be right here.
1059
01:02:45,762 --> 01:02:49,140
RICK: Jimmy and I
were here before.
1060
01:02:49,140 --> 01:02:55,146
We were here 12 years ago
with Yvon and Doug.
1061
01:03:05,072 --> 01:03:09,911
♪ ♪
1062
01:03:09,911 --> 01:03:14,123
(cheering)
1063
01:03:17,001 --> 01:03:20,004
(cheering)
1064
01:03:20,004 --> 01:03:22,256
JIMMY: That's
another one for us!
1065
01:03:22,673 --> 01:03:24,383
YVON: First Medicaid ascent.
1066
01:03:24,383 --> 01:03:25,968
(laughing)
1067
01:03:25,968 --> 01:03:28,471
DOUG: You can't beat it.
1068
01:03:29,347 --> 01:03:33,643
RICK: I remember having
an incredible sunset,
1069
01:03:33,643 --> 01:03:36,729
just like the one
we had last night.
1070
01:03:36,729 --> 01:03:39,857
I was thinking about Doug.
1071
01:03:40,900 --> 01:03:43,486
DOUG: Now it's my
biological clock ticking.
1072
01:03:43,486 --> 01:03:45,905
I really feel it.
1073
01:03:45,905 --> 01:03:47,615
YVON: You've got a lot of
jobs you've got to finish.
1074
01:03:47,615 --> 01:03:50,827
DOUG: I got projects to do,
that are long term projects.
1075
01:03:50,827 --> 01:03:52,912
And, you know, you're
thinking, you know,
1076
01:03:52,912 --> 01:03:54,580
I'm going to make
it to finish that.
1077
01:03:54,580 --> 01:03:57,208
I'm really interested
to see if we could
1078
01:03:57,208 --> 01:03:58,626
finish this or finish that.
1079
01:03:58,626 --> 01:03:59,961
And it takes a lot of time.
1080
01:03:59,961 --> 01:04:01,379
Time is everything.
1081
01:04:01,379 --> 01:04:03,422
Yeah, it's the most valuable.
1082
01:04:03,422 --> 01:04:04,841
YVON: Always is.
1083
01:04:04,841 --> 01:04:07,343
DOUG: Life flies by.
1084
01:04:07,343 --> 01:04:09,804
YVON: Yeah.
1085
01:04:21,107 --> 01:04:25,069
KRIS: I had talked Doug
into going on this trip,
1086
01:04:25,069 --> 01:04:28,906
well at first, and then he
became enthusiastic about it.
1087
01:04:28,906 --> 01:04:32,285
RICK: We thought it'd be fun
to do a sea kayak trip of this
1088
01:04:32,285 --> 01:04:36,455
big lake not far from the
Patagonia National Park.
1089
01:04:37,582 --> 01:04:40,001
KRIS: We took them all to
the lake and they spent hours
1090
01:04:40,001 --> 01:04:41,794
getting all their boats ready.
1091
01:04:41,794 --> 01:04:43,462
Let's go honey!
1092
01:04:45,923 --> 01:04:47,884
MELINDA: They were
world class kayakers,
1093
01:04:47,884 --> 01:04:51,971
but they hired somebody
to put a trip together.
1094
01:04:54,348 --> 01:04:56,434
KRIS: They took
the Zodiac out,
1095
01:04:56,434 --> 01:05:00,104
then put their
boats in the water.
1096
01:05:02,607 --> 01:05:05,693
RICK: Doug and I
were in a double kayak.
1097
01:05:05,693 --> 01:05:09,405
Yvon and Weston
were in singles,
1098
01:05:09,405 --> 01:05:12,700
and Jeb and Lorenzo
were in another double.
1099
01:05:13,618 --> 01:05:16,746
The fourth day the wind
really started to come up.
1100
01:05:18,414 --> 01:05:21,000
MELINDA: The wind was
blowing eight foot waves
1101
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,169
every which direction.
1102
01:05:23,169 --> 01:05:25,338
RICK: We're having trouble
with the rudder of this boat
1103
01:05:25,338 --> 01:05:27,673
that we had borrowed.
1104
01:05:29,884 --> 01:05:32,386
It was really getting
increasingly difficult for
1105
01:05:32,386 --> 01:05:36,140
Doug and me to keep our
boat pointed downwind.
1106
01:05:38,476 --> 01:05:42,271
This wave hit us, all of
the sudden we're upside down.
1107
01:05:43,230 --> 01:05:45,316
And so I said to Doug,
1108
01:05:45,316 --> 01:05:48,235
"God I wonder if we should
try to swim for it.
1109
01:05:48,235 --> 01:05:49,904
Because if we get out in
the middle of a lake,
1110
01:05:49,904 --> 01:05:52,782
we're dead, for sure."
1111
01:05:53,199 --> 01:05:56,661
And then we both said, "Okay,
let's try and go for it."
1112
01:05:58,829 --> 01:06:02,708
I thought, you know, I've
probably got 10 minutes left.
1113
01:06:02,708 --> 01:06:05,127
You can only stay alive
in water that cold for
1114
01:06:05,127 --> 01:06:07,213
a half hour, maybe.
1115
01:06:07,505 --> 01:06:09,715
And then another wave broke
over me and I realized I was
1116
01:06:09,715 --> 01:06:12,259
starting to drown.
1117
01:06:12,259 --> 01:06:14,261
And then something snapped.
1118
01:06:14,261 --> 01:06:17,348
And I said, I screamed, "No."
1119
01:06:17,348 --> 01:06:20,059
I started swimming
as hard as I could.
1120
01:06:21,435 --> 01:06:23,813
And in a minute,
Jeb and Lorenzo arrived
1121
01:06:23,813 --> 01:06:25,272
in their double kayak.
1122
01:06:25,272 --> 01:06:28,567
I grabbed onto the back
and they started towing me.
1123
01:06:31,904 --> 01:06:34,991
WESTON: I just happened
to arrive to Doug first.
1124
01:06:35,241 --> 01:06:39,537
{\an8}He grabbed onto the back of
my kayak and I got the kayak
1125
01:06:39,537 --> 01:06:43,249
turned towards shore
and began to paddle.
1126
01:06:43,249 --> 01:06:46,252
He was not panicking,
he was kicking.
1127
01:06:46,252 --> 01:06:47,920
He could have so easily
grabbed on to me,
1128
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:50,172
flipped me over.
1129
01:06:51,632 --> 01:06:54,844
But, there was no way to
fight the hypothermia that was
1130
01:06:54,844 --> 01:06:55,970
starting to set in.
1131
01:06:55,970 --> 01:06:59,390
And I could really feel that
he was losing strength to kick
1132
01:06:59,390 --> 01:07:01,892
and hold on.
1133
01:07:01,892 --> 01:07:05,938
In the final moment, Doug was
looking up the Aveano valley.
1134
01:07:07,023 --> 01:07:12,028
And just, humming
almost to himself.
1135
01:07:12,028 --> 01:07:16,115
When he lost the strength to
hold on anymore to the boat
1136
01:07:16,115 --> 01:07:19,618
I needed to get him up in my arm
1137
01:07:19,618 --> 01:07:20,995
to keep his head
out of the water.
1138
01:07:20,995 --> 01:07:25,791
I just couldn't hold
him and hold the paddle.
1139
01:07:25,791 --> 01:07:29,045
And I lost my
paddle at that point.
1140
01:07:34,341 --> 01:07:36,510
Doug and I floated like
that for about an hour,
1141
01:07:36,510 --> 01:07:39,263
an hour and a half.
1142
01:07:39,764 --> 01:07:44,435
And then I heard a
helicopter coming.
1143
01:07:44,769 --> 01:07:47,313
They pulled us floating
in the water to shore,
1144
01:07:47,313 --> 01:07:50,691
and they went from
there to the hospital.
1145
01:07:51,859 --> 01:07:55,613
KRIS: Broken messages
coming in slowly.
1146
01:07:55,613 --> 01:07:59,909
Finally it is Doug,
Rick, helicopter.
1147
01:08:00,910 --> 01:08:03,370
I know you're in
serious trouble.
1148
01:08:03,370 --> 01:08:06,415
Instinctively, I know,
without knowing.
1149
01:08:06,415 --> 01:08:09,126
Outside pleading
with the gods.
1150
01:08:09,126 --> 01:08:13,672
Please, please, please,
please bring him back to me.
1151
01:08:15,674 --> 01:08:19,720
RICK: And they took us to the
lodge where the phone rang and
1152
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:23,224
the lodge owner answered.
1153
01:08:24,391 --> 01:08:28,938
In a short minute later,
1154
01:08:28,938 --> 01:08:31,774
hung up and looked
at us and said,
1155
01:08:31,774 --> 01:08:34,151
"Now Doug is really dead."
1156
01:08:46,956 --> 01:08:48,666
KRIS: Rushed into the
room where I now know
1157
01:08:48,666 --> 01:08:51,210
they worked on you for hours.
1158
01:08:51,210 --> 01:08:53,671
Cold body, soft.
1159
01:08:53,671 --> 01:08:56,924
I crawl up onto your
bed and lay next to you.
1160
01:08:56,924 --> 01:09:00,094
I only wanted the two of us
to be cocooned together and
1161
01:09:00,094 --> 01:09:05,141
let everything and
everyone else just slip away.
1162
01:09:06,142 --> 01:09:09,228
RICK: And I just
stared into my soup.
1163
01:09:10,187 --> 01:09:15,025
And I remember Yvon staring
into his soup,
1164
01:09:15,025 --> 01:09:17,945
and then he picked up a spoon
1165
01:09:17,945 --> 01:09:22,950
and started eating
it very slowly.
1166
01:09:24,910 --> 01:09:27,037
And then he looked over
at me and he said,
1167
01:09:27,037 --> 01:09:31,834
"Eat your soup.
It's really good."
1168
01:09:32,376 --> 01:09:36,839
And I made sure that I
1169
01:09:36,839 --> 01:09:40,134
respected every
spoonful of warm soup
1170
01:09:40,134 --> 01:09:43,137
going down my throat.
1171
01:09:53,022 --> 01:09:56,233
KRIS: And then we
flew him the next day.
1172
01:09:56,233 --> 01:10:00,654
And I was in the back with the
coffin and I had a knife in my
1173
01:10:00,654 --> 01:10:04,992
bag and I started
carving our names.
1174
01:10:05,618 --> 01:10:09,914
I didn't notice but as I'm
carving these big letters and
1175
01:10:09,914 --> 01:10:14,043
I'm just carving
as hard as I can,
1176
01:10:14,043 --> 01:10:15,920
I'm cutting myself.
1177
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,714
There's blood on the box.
1178
01:10:18,714 --> 01:10:21,717
There's blood on me.
1179
01:10:21,717 --> 01:10:26,388
And I was out of my seatbelt.
1180
01:10:26,847 --> 01:10:31,393
I just was so intent on getting
Birdy and Lolo into that box.
1181
01:10:34,188 --> 01:10:36,982
So finally, Rick, who's
sitting way up by the pilot,
1182
01:10:36,982 --> 01:10:38,525
comes back there, said,
1183
01:10:38,525 --> 01:10:40,986
"You sit down,
you get in your seat,
1184
01:10:40,986 --> 01:10:44,531
you put your seatbelt on,
and give me that knife.
1185
01:10:44,531 --> 01:10:46,116
You are done.
1186
01:10:46,116 --> 01:10:49,620
Is this what you want
people to see when we land?"
1187
01:10:53,457 --> 01:10:56,835
YVON: She was off the
deep end, you know,
1188
01:10:56,835 --> 01:10:59,672
to the point where she
didn't want to live.
1189
01:10:59,672 --> 01:11:02,591
She didn't want to go
through life without him.
1190
01:11:10,057 --> 01:11:12,309
KRIS: Doug died
three days ago
1191
01:11:14,270 --> 01:11:16,647
on a trip with his
best friends.
1192
01:11:17,690 --> 01:11:22,444
With Yvon Chouinard,
his lifelong friend
1193
01:11:24,196 --> 01:11:28,534
with Rick Ridgeway,
who also almost died
1194
01:11:30,035 --> 01:11:32,496
and with Weston Boyles,
1195
01:11:33,122 --> 01:11:36,959
the group's "little boy",
1196
01:11:36,959 --> 01:11:42,840
who stayed with him
until the very end.
1197
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:45,676
He never left him alone.
1198
01:11:45,676 --> 01:11:51,307
And for that I will
be eternally grateful.
1199
01:11:52,224 --> 01:11:58,439
This person, Douglas,
lived a life worth centuries.
1200
01:11:59,315 --> 01:12:04,862
I can't picture a life
without him, but here we are.
1201
01:12:09,616 --> 01:12:12,453
KRIS: Thank you for coming.
1202
01:12:13,245 --> 01:12:20,002

1203
01:12:26,216 --> 01:12:28,260
♪ ♪
1204
01:12:28,260 --> 01:12:32,765
RICK: We lowered Doug's
casket into the grave.
1205
01:12:32,765 --> 01:12:35,642
And then all the people who
had come, all the citizens
1206
01:12:35,642 --> 01:12:38,937
from surrounding towns,
hundreds of people,
1207
01:12:38,937 --> 01:12:42,483
we all started tossing dirt on
his casket with our hands.
1208
01:13:01,919 --> 01:13:07,841
KRIS: It took me a long time
to decide not to go with him.
1209
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:11,595
This is a good place to come.
1210
01:13:11,595 --> 01:13:17,559
I was so crazy for
so long after he died.
1211
01:13:21,355 --> 01:13:25,609
Everyday.
1212
01:13:26,527 --> 01:13:29,988
May 17, when you left Esprit,
1213
01:13:29,988 --> 01:13:33,117
you went on a grand search
for what could be next,
1214
01:13:33,117 --> 01:13:36,495
the grand gesture to
live a new life.
1215
01:13:36,495 --> 01:13:40,416
And now I'm sitting on
that same precipice.
1216
01:13:40,416 --> 01:13:43,961
Somehow there has
to be a new story.
1217
01:13:43,961 --> 01:13:46,713
Perhaps this is
the point, Birdy.
1218
01:13:46,713 --> 01:13:49,716
It's time to write it all down.
1219
01:13:59,059 --> 01:14:04,731
Even though I feel still
that it was an amputation,
1220
01:14:04,731 --> 01:14:08,986
not just a loss.
1221
01:14:08,986 --> 01:14:14,283
I feel this big, audacious
vision of Doug's
1222
01:14:14,283 --> 01:14:18,787
was the thing that probably
kept me in one piece.
1223
01:14:20,122 --> 01:14:23,876
That was like a
life raft for me.
1224
01:14:23,876 --> 01:14:25,878
We never stopped.
1225
01:14:25,878 --> 01:14:28,922
I managed everything.
1226
01:14:29,590 --> 01:14:33,552
YVON: All these things that she
knew that were unsustainable,
1227
01:14:33,552 --> 01:14:35,429
she stopped all that.
1228
01:14:35,429 --> 01:14:39,766
And she pulled
herself up and took over.
1229
01:14:42,102 --> 01:14:44,354
KRIS: All the farms are gone.
1230
01:14:44,354 --> 01:14:48,650
We had 13 farms at one point.
1231
01:14:48,650 --> 01:14:51,403
We couldn't make
them self-sustaining.
1232
01:14:51,403 --> 01:14:55,073
It was just too expensive.
1233
01:14:55,073 --> 01:14:58,911
I couldn't help but feel
that I was failing Doug.
1234
01:14:59,745 --> 01:15:03,040
It wasn't an option
to keep them going,
1235
01:15:05,209 --> 01:15:08,504
but it was tough to let them go.
1236
01:15:10,339 --> 01:15:15,010
It became so black
and white to me.
1237
01:15:15,010 --> 01:15:16,845
There was no question.
1238
01:15:16,845 --> 01:15:19,890
It was binary, my
whole life became binary.
1239
01:15:19,890 --> 01:15:22,017
I want to die,
I'm going to live.
1240
01:15:22,017 --> 01:15:24,561
We're going to do this,
we're not going to do that.
1241
01:15:24,561 --> 01:15:27,022
Doug wanted to do this,
we're not doing it.
1242
01:15:27,022 --> 01:15:28,607
Close it down.
1243
01:15:28,607 --> 01:15:30,275
Pumalín, you're done.
1244
01:15:30,275 --> 01:15:32,236
Colchagua you're almost done.
1245
01:15:32,236 --> 01:15:34,571
Ibera, we're going to do this.
1246
01:15:34,571 --> 01:15:38,825
We're going to go twice
the speed, twice the scope.
1247
01:15:38,825 --> 01:15:40,702
Just go.
1248
01:15:40,702 --> 01:15:42,037
We have nothing to lose.
1249
01:15:42,037 --> 01:15:45,749
That was my mantra:
I have nothing to lose.
1250
01:15:45,749 --> 01:15:48,835
The worst thing that
could happen to me happened.
1251
01:15:52,089 --> 01:15:54,967
RICK: She was into a complete
new phase in her life.
1252
01:15:54,967 --> 01:15:57,219
And little by little,
1253
01:15:57,219 --> 01:16:01,515
Kris not only found that
reason to keep going,
1254
01:16:01,515 --> 01:16:06,186
but she became more and
more fierce and bold.
1255
01:16:10,691 --> 01:16:14,444
KRIS: I always felt
like a pebble in a stream.
1256
01:16:15,362 --> 01:16:18,699
Not anymore.
1257
01:16:18,699 --> 01:16:21,285
I know exactly
what I want to do.
1258
01:16:21,285 --> 01:16:24,788
I'm really living
with a lot of intention.
1259
01:16:27,791 --> 01:16:31,420
KRIS: So the new park would be
1260
01:16:33,839 --> 01:16:35,632
KRIS: 2.3 million.
1261
01:16:35,924 --> 01:16:37,509
KRIS: 2.3 million acres.
1262
01:16:38,552 --> 01:16:40,846
WOMAN: It's another
Pumalín or Corcovado.
1263
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:44,725
KRIS: 20 million acres.
1264
01:16:45,892 --> 01:16:48,312
KRIS: Now we're talking!
1265
01:16:48,770 --> 01:16:53,358
RICK: She's inevitably had to
ask herself, "what's next?"
1266
01:16:53,358 --> 01:16:58,405
I think that the most energizing
opportunity is rewilding.
1267
01:16:58,739 --> 01:17:00,407
CRISTIÁN: So these are
1268
01:17:01,116 --> 01:17:04,119
two of the first group
that was released,
1269
01:17:04,494 --> 01:17:07,956
but they interact with the
others that are wild.
1270
01:17:08,373 --> 01:17:12,210
So they are doing much better
outside than in the pens.
1271
01:17:13,503 --> 01:17:16,923
KRIS: There was so much more to
do than just protect the land.
1272
01:17:16,923 --> 01:17:21,845
You can't call any of these
places restored or healthy
1273
01:17:21,845 --> 01:17:25,182
until everybody's back.
1274
01:17:28,685 --> 01:17:31,772
RICK: Kris helped with the
reintroductions of over a
1275
01:17:31,772 --> 01:17:33,899
dozen species at this point,
1276
01:17:33,899 --> 01:17:36,443
ultimately including the Jaguar,
1277
01:17:36,443 --> 01:17:39,863
which nobody's ever done before.
1278
01:17:41,573 --> 01:17:44,159
KRIS: It was Doug's idea
to do whatever we could
1279
01:17:44,159 --> 01:17:46,995
to bring Jaguars back.
1280
01:17:46,995 --> 01:17:50,582
The Jaguar is emblematic.
1281
01:17:50,582 --> 01:17:53,085
It's at the top of
the food chain there.
1282
01:17:53,085 --> 01:17:55,295
It was one of his dreams.
1283
01:17:55,295 --> 01:17:58,507
So we have nine to release.
1284
01:17:58,507 --> 01:18:02,761
And that's assuming
that both the cubs,
1285
01:18:02,761 --> 01:18:04,805
who are now both females...
1286
01:18:04,805 --> 01:18:06,515
WOMAN: Yes.
1287
01:18:06,515 --> 01:18:09,393
KRIS: Have two cubs, maybe.
1288
01:18:09,393 --> 01:18:10,852
Maybe one.
1289
01:18:11,645 --> 01:18:12,896
KRIS: Incredible!
1290
01:18:13,146 --> 01:18:18,068
Every time I think
about this I almost cry.
1291
01:18:19,444 --> 01:18:21,655
KRIS: Really and truly.
1292
01:18:31,039 --> 01:18:35,877
Maybe national parks
are like petri dishes.
1293
01:18:35,877 --> 01:18:40,507
And when everything
goes to hell,
1294
01:18:40,507 --> 01:18:43,885
national parks being
protected areas
1295
01:18:43,885 --> 01:18:46,388
might be a petri dish
in which evolution could
1296
01:18:46,388 --> 01:18:48,682
kind of restart itself.
1297
01:18:49,349 --> 01:18:52,310
Who knows?

01:18:52,853 --> 01:18:59,526
♪ ♪
1299
01:19:03,572 --> 01:19:07,659
RICK: Helping to protect
biodiversity, as Kris is doing,
1300
01:19:07,659 --> 01:19:12,122
actually has a direct
link to climate change,
1301
01:19:12,122 --> 01:19:18,253
and through that link to the
survivability of our species
1302

KRIS: March 2nd, 2017.

The government sent up
a smoke signal today.

01:19:27,471 --> 01:19:31,057
We will sign the
agreement here on March 15.
1306
01:19:33,351 --> 01:19:37,063
At first, enormous relief,
and then momentary happiness
1307
01:19:37,063 --> 01:19:40,942
that gave way to my
unending admiration for you.
1308
01:19:41,443 --> 01:19:45,071
I asked myself how I can
come this far without you.
1309
01:19:45,071 --> 01:19:49,326
But then I remembered
you've been here all along.
1310
01:19:53,205 --> 01:19:54,581
ANDRES: You know,
when you devote
1311
01:19:54,581 --> 01:19:57,584
not only a lot of your wealth,
but a lot of your life,
1312
01:19:57,584 --> 01:20:00,879
and then you choose to
be buried in that place,
1313
01:20:00,879 --> 01:20:03,423
you know, it made it impossible
1314
01:20:03,423 --> 01:20:06,218
for someone to say,
oh, he's just visiting.
1315
01:20:06,218 --> 01:20:10,222
RICK: There was this
outpouring of grief
1316
01:20:10,222 --> 01:20:14,100
for a widow across
the entire country.
1317
01:20:15,060 --> 01:20:20,190
It galvanized everybody and
any opposition to what they
1318
01:20:20,190 --> 01:20:23,109
were trying to do
seemed to vaporize.
1319

KRIS: Historic.
It's historic.
1320
01:20:29,324 --> 01:20:34,538
Seriously, no one has

{\an8}MICHELLE: When I was the
president, we met with Kristine

{\an8}and we decided that this could
be an interesting thing
1323
01:20:41,670 --> 01:20:44,005
that two women could
continue pushing what
1324
01:20:44,005 --> 01:20:48,176
Doug had as a real
important dream.

KRIS: The truth is we needed
to finish up these parks.
1326
01:20:53,932 --> 01:20:59,521
You have to remember that we
were carrying untold overhead.
1327
01:20:59,521 --> 01:21:01,690
In the last year or so,
1328
01:21:01,690 --> 01:21:06,444
we'd been spending
up to $6 million a year
1329
01:21:06,444 --> 01:21:10,991
so not donating them would be
economic disaster eventually.
1330
01:21:13,785 --> 01:21:15,954
Ay yay yay!

01:21:15,954 --> 01:21:19,749

01:21:34,097 --> 01:21:37,142
All five new national

the enlargement

I read something and
I saw immediately
1359
01:23:10,610 --> 01:23:13,530
two words that were conditional.

We 'could', we 'would',
not we 'are'.

in this collection of eight,
wasn't completely clear
1363
01:23:25,083 --> 01:23:27,127
if it was a go.
1364
01:23:27,127 --> 01:23:30,213
And for me, it
was all or nothing.
1365
01:23:30,213 --> 01:23:34,092
We do them all
or we do nothing.
1366
01:23:36,803 --> 01:23:41,725
So it's a huge risk if
it doesn't go through.
1367
01:23:47,522 --> 01:23:49,315
MICHELLE: After all, what
happened to them for all of
1368
01:23:49,315 --> 01:23:52,318
those years, trying to
convince different governments
1369
01:23:52,318 --> 01:23:57,073
to do something like this and
never being able to go forward,
1370
01:23:57,073 --> 01:23:59,659
then I guess of course,
she had to have doubts.
1371
01:24:00,326 --> 01:24:03,329
She thought
anything can change.
1372
01:24:06,791 --> 01:24:12,047
KRIS: Right up to the hour
before the ceremony,
1373
01:24:13,214 --> 01:24:16,634
I had no idea whether
it was going to go or not.
1374
01:24:17,052 --> 01:24:20,263
That's it. Let's roll.
1375
01:24:25,977 --> 01:24:28,605
When she arrived,
I was really stone faced.
1376
01:24:28,605 --> 01:24:30,273
We meet again.
1377
01:24:30,273 --> 01:24:33,943
And she wanted to
meet at Doug's grave
1378
01:24:33,943 --> 01:24:37,197
in the little cemetery there.
1379
01:24:37,822 --> 01:24:42,535
She was acknowledging Doug's
grave and talking about Doug.
1380
01:24:42,535 --> 01:24:46,039
And I just thought,
I'm about to pull the plug
1381
01:24:46,039 --> 01:24:48,958
on all of this work.
1382
01:24:50,543 --> 01:24:54,005
I had two speeches.
1383
01:24:54,005 --> 01:24:56,966
One: wrath and brimstone,
1384
01:24:56,966 --> 01:24:59,719
if somehow something
had gone awry.
1385
01:24:59,719 --> 01:25:02,806
And another one that
was congratulatory.
1386
01:25:02,806 --> 01:25:06,101
(speaking Spanish)
1387
01:25:06,643 --> 01:25:09,729
And then someone came around
next to me and she said,
1388
01:25:09,729 --> 01:25:12,398
"It's in there.
It's okay."
1389
01:25:12,398 --> 01:25:14,442
So I turned around to the
president and said,
1390
01:25:14,442 --> 01:25:17,237
"God, what a historic day."
1391
