About

WE’RE A SMALL, DETERMINED TEAM.
Activists, advocates, biologists and builders... the people of Tompkins Conservation—founded by Kristine and the late Douglas Tompkins (1943–2015), business leaders from Patagonia, The North Face, and Esprit—are working to confront the twin crises facing life on Earth: climate chaos and collapsing ecosystems.

More than a quarter century ago, we committed ourselves to working on the ground in the Southern Cone of South America. From northern Argentina to southern Chile, you’ll find us creating landscape-scale conservation projects that focus on restoring an area’s full complement of native species.
