About this Event
Rewilding Chile:
Legacy of Tompkins Conservation
Carolina has been part of Tompkins Conservation Chile for almost 30 years, which has allowed her to work closely with Douglas Tompkins, conservationist and founder of the North Face, since its creation.
She played a central role in donating land from Tompkins Conservation to the State of Chile, a worldwide conservation milestone, as it was the largest donation in history from a private party to a State. This allowed the creation of seven national parks and the expansion of three others.
She has directed the Patagonia Parks Route project. This initiative consists of a territorial vision of conservation in Chilean Patagonia that promotes economic development through tourism as a consequence of conservation, enhancing the value of the national parks.
Today Carolina Morgado is Executive Director of Fundación Rewilding Chile, a legacy of Tompkins Conservation.
