Of the world sunny miles but relations have been wiped out since the 1970 s. Scientists claim that the planet is witnessing a mass extinction. In response a Worldwide Movement is now underway to rewire the countryside to restore land to native one in the city at the tip of south america the succeeding oil expectations. I have come to but ive only had to meet a few of her face was dedicated the best 2 that gets to the protection of this area the conservation projects she started with her husband doug has become a true inspiration to those who believe the wilderness can heal itself given half a chance. But i go nia piece of vast region of mountains and forests spanning seldom chile and argentina. Though famous hard to stunning landscapes for center receipts has been an important region for livestock farming and many of its crossed lines have been graced bare. At the regions hot lights Patagonia National park. And here to find out how this became one of the biggest conservation projects in history. And you know full well i think here him am im chris how can one of your little deal. Former c. E. O. Of Elder Company but they go nia reese mary Doug Thompkins and interplay newer and ive been through who had founded rival brand the north face. Both brands made them by your mentor protections central to their Company Ethos but chris and doug wanted to do more from the early ninetys but over 300000000. 00 u. S. Dollars of land for preservation across chile and argentina they build parks complete with largest campgrounds and trails to support a good story some after dark side in there in 10 to 15 carried the mantle as president of their foundation tomkins conservation what was it you saw here may you take of this if you know change you know the next 20 years. I didnt see it frankly that thats the one side. He saw a landscape that was beat up and miles of fence line to take down and that convinced me this was the conservation chance of a lifetime. In 2004 in the valley friesen dog this sheep ranch of almost 200000 acres of overgrazed grassland they said about returning it to me to along with a handful of smaller farms using a process called rewilding rewilding is the restoration of an entire ecosystem to its natural state by removing foreign species reintroducing and protecting native ones it begins with the removal of livestock the biggest patient to flourish this encourages insects and the really learn the most attracting birds and other small predators removing fences allows the return of therapy forces which are preyed on by apex predators those at the top of the food chain which then also multiply. Species in critically low numbers totally absent or rehabilitated ultimately free and predator populations regulate one another and the ecosystem evolves into a by a long term selfsustaining wilderness. When we bought this property there were probably. 500 miles of fence line. That needed to come down and when you take the fences down you see wildlife coming back and because for 80 years its been excluded from the best grasses. Answers are to keep wildlife. Out of the best grasses and keeping your life start in the best. So its very exciting to see the grasslands and the forests begin to restore of cells and thats the joy of taking fences down. One of the most benefiting from this growth is that when i go. Im a keystone species that is one the place a crucial role in the functioning of the ecosystem not often you see one by itself. Theyre pretty emblematic of the patagonian step if theyre plentiful and theyre calm like this one is then you know that the system is coming back and that they feel no threads course and thats where. I want to see what rewilding looks like up close and. Kristen so still the parts they rector of conservation has agreed to show me. Has been a guiding hand on the rewinding process since the parts beginning so no one knows the flora and fauna youre better than him. On route we bumped into a few of the locals. Hate me out. Of ripping me out in some way. Part of the community for a course of this park. To pick me old priests and small birds rodents and in 6 to thrive in healthy grassland. Takes me to the edge of the park where it borders on a working ranch difference in the grass on either side is a striking. Here is a good example of what happened in one place where you removed the livestock and one place where landowners decide to put more livestock than their land is able to support in terms of food so the consequence is that you lost division and you see the composition of the plant trees different so if you have livestock permanently eating the grass they dont have the chance to release these seeds and their recovery is very slow there are some consequence like erosion that is very hard to address and it will take over as dear to me to be really recorder. On the eastern edge of the park kristen and the team have established a Breeding Center for an endangered realty will be ostrich called darwins rhea. Baited and brought here to a climatized before being released. Really. Strongly associated with. Going in a big grassland so i grassland without a real complete. Main proposal of. The captive population is providing in the. Population the main issue here. Relation was so. Less than 20. The white population of rio made it by hunting and the destruction of their hobby done but is now slowly growing and successfully dispersing here from a very year that have been relieved when you see that there is a line of fans right now we are removing it and that we prove they cannot be barriers that have been released to be me with their wild rear we are now in the 3rd generation and we are planning to keep this Program Running the next 35 years when we are made that we can read up with relation of about 100 birthing there while. The tiny the growing real population will in turn help sustain their only natural predator and the species im most excited to see they lose the king of persia go. And come to meet at their herd there and hunter. In the area used to keel over tend. To protect their communities flocks. For the. Fair go. No i. Think when. A seal you know words are so wide like word and and its the parks risk too much trucking expert if anyone can find me a pull my team. But i. Remember my. First. And only have a hard time going to where youre. Not and i want you to give us one for my i mean i me and i said. Well you know what im more real but i dont have any. We dont need any money to reform your way you see that only this man has of the land. I can see there that he can distinguish. Anywhere here who most prefer to hunt at night on our chances of seeing one are very slim so were doing the next best thing sitting a camera. On the team used to monitor their activity. When i wanted one of the men it was clear that. They come over here. Both because youre in jail. Various times and. She drove into most curious that another cat has been here were going to leave this camera turret for a few days and see whether we get lucky. It may be hard to actually see a pool but for crease their return credit reports and predators have been systematically persecuted for decades and decades so their numbers get precariously love every ecosystem has whats called their apex species here in patagonia its promise and if you take out the very top predator everything cascades down from that. Comes out of order even though its early here in the park in terms of rebalancing we can see some big changes where there are Water Systems and grasslands are definitely coming back the number of bullets in the park and the numbers of what not goes in the park foxes but the success comes when all of those species are truly back in a system thats functioning without human intervention. As willis helping to clean air and water large expanses of forest and. Cardboard a crucial way to meet again climate change. This bridge generating forests also play host to accrete to so rare its almost mythic and its rehabilitation could be the parts biggest challenge. To wildlife rangers have to help me find it. Ive lost. Nearly any and maybe i think the body perfect but then again i want to be a. Hard hearted i dont know part of the wallet i give anyone i am but i can and i can be a little nicer and if thats honest then youll trucks with movie gear use until a miter decent day now that takes radio frequencies to meet it from callers on the beer. When i suffer a little so it is. Momentous to know anyway so it didnt seem too old for yesterday seems only to say theyre going to run a little not satisfied with getting what time was he and perfect i could see him ahead 9 they were city all mushy on the v. A. Yeah i think i have 30 across. Here. Yeah. How did that destruction and poaching abroad sometimes called the stealth than the and dear to the brink of extinction. There are fewer than 2000 left in the wide just one percent of their original population look them in chile and argentina. But i. Honestly love it i want to get in and have all of. The i mean when you say they are left. Naked hairy men tend. To form a little boy. In the end. And i was. Just. Really close to my. Now though and i can never cannot come. Out of theyre going to. Keep. Going on where they were going to make. The nearly invites me back to his family home to meet his wife. Their family comes from a long line of go chose ranching people found the cross but the owner were often fiercely proud of their way of life. Many go in the nearby community of cochrane conservation as a threat to both their livelihoods and their culture. The new word on the old ranch a shepherd for 6 years before taking a job conserving will in the park that replace that. Come from. You know. Sort of think. That. You can live with. One. Of. The fellas fancier neither of us has had. But. Those who still ranching also complain that must leave the park to peel their livestock. 16 people working on the ranch when it was closed then employed at the park 8 of them a spark wardens like the near. By 2018 the park employ more than 90 people during high season meanwhile tourism has created sustainable sources of income for local populations this was truly an emblematic ranch so just the image this region shifts when the land use shifts and that was really hard on people which i completely understand i would hate to have this area be 100 percent tourism the culture would fracture the structure of society would begin to fall apart and thats what im interested in im interested in working ranches alongside conservation areas so theres dignity and health on both sides. But when chris and doug started buying land local grievances were just the beginning. Some chileans said it was the us. And grab a plot to control the countrys weather or even establish a psion estate. The duncans also infuriated conservatives when they joined the Popular Campaign to stop a giant dam project near the park. But their high profile role in the room and in which thousands took to the street forcing the government to reject the project one of the many admirers across chile. One way therefore hopes to contribute to local communities while also convincing them of the benefits of conservation is through a free program. Leading a school group from the nearby said. On the today trip. To the National Need but the music of the overtaking would also take. A look at why that. Then its the. Us that is obviously. Quite. Fond of. It. And if you get. Me in any company any im going to. Get a fellow he going. To me all the. Time or. Not to listen i feel. Like its a lonely. So when im ready for. A bottle of that. Despite living in the countryside for some of this is their 1st time camping in the wild. Fire. And all i hear. On monday. Was on the phone over here. New year period. Im meeting up with the chick. Coming to tap. We have heard that the bomb has been spotted with the carcass of a when i go and go to check it out. And to get in get in to get there but if. You. Get a youll get all that icky. And what youre not a little light on. He. Definitely and i think a lot of not you know and im. Sure hes i dont know that he does. Put out on what he said all of us had. Assumed youre just given a soda. You know but. Were not going to save us and you know. I. Know like this time but thats on the team have used camera traps to look you meant over 35 must now recede into the park. With balance returning the tomkins foundation feels ready to do what they have always done with their parks and made it to the state in a 2018 signing ceremony with them prissy and michelle bestially priest handed over these and another park worth a combined 1000000 acres it was billed as the biggest donation of private land to a stately history. The chilean government also contributed 9000000 acres of their own the slum now forms 5 new National Parks and expand 3 others an area 3 times bigger than yellowstone and yosemite combined this assault will help the navel the route of parts a scenic road 1700 miles long connecting 17 parks across chile boosting the economies of the communities on route. Right now the largest another 2 these facilities are closing down until the handover process is complete so the whole team there are saying the vital one another and its not like hell be bad next year. Yet its sad. Less than 4 years after dog died in a kayaking accident seeing their dream finally become a reality discipline a moment. Carriers. The day that dad died he was on a kayaking trip with our best friends and they got caught out and a severe westerly wind they were getting pushed farther and farther out into the center of their life and so they decided to abandon the kayak and have to swim to shore. And it was just too much. It was in the water for over 2 hours and they got in how those helicopters to hospital and clacking and somehow the word. Spread so fast. Had either died or was in trouble and as we drove to the hospital people were. Taking their hard hats off and opening our. First thing i really thought. It was extraordinary anyway we got to. Die 20 minutes before so. Soon after dogs there she List National congress voted to make him i dont read. It was an official recognition both of the contribution to the countrys not to run unopposed much the public come to brace them what a life. Heres a guy who had no limitations. You know youre so easily stopped by things that are difficult or seemingly impossible. To many people you know. We leave behind a legacy of if you dont establish some sort of value system that award space between human and nonhuman. Well never get where we need to go. Im using my final evening in the park to take a proper hike the only way to truly appreciate the spectacular place. I feel so lucky to have had the towns to be said one of the few remaining great wilderness of the word experience has shown me just so precious this ecosystems are and how easily they can be used for human activity whether thats also giving me hope to see that these grass roots of forest have been revived to welcome back the amazing creatures that once called the home.
