Wildlands Philanthropy: Lessons from Patagonia

Mar 7, 2019

Tom Butler, Vice President for Advocacy at Tompkins Conservation, takes the listener through his experience working on two continents and over more than three decades. With philanthropists at Tompkins Conservation, he has helped to secure over 13 million acres and re-wild other lands to create more than a dozen new national or regional parks. Tompkins Conservation is the philanthropy of Kris Tompkins (former CEO of Patagonia) and Doug Tomkins (founder of the North Face and Esprit).
