In 2004, Kris Tompkins’ conservation organisation acquired a 174,500-acre Chilean ranch and began restoring its grasslands and wildlife; in 2018 the ranch became part of a national park within a wider conservation effort that has helped protect nearly 15 million acres

• The conservation project aimed to restore its grasslands, bring back native wildlife and protect the landscape for future generations.
• According to Tompkins Conservation, the ranch became a central part of Patagonia National Park, which was established in 2018
