conservation of fragile ecosystems. Founded by Kristine McDivitt Tompkins and
her late husband, Douglas, Tompkins Conservation and its partners have
protected approximately 13 million acres of parkland in Chile and Argentina.
Mrs. Tompkins will answer the question of why national parks are a worthwhile
investment by drawing on her years as the CEO of Patagonia, Inc., in addition
to her more than two decades leading initiatives to re-wild and restore
biodiversity in South America. See https://www.facebook.com/events/282356889265544/.
