简介
The American billionaire and environment activist Douglas Tompkins has died after a kayak accident in Chili. He developed sever hypothermia after capsizing in a lake. He was 72. Douglas Tompkins made his fortune as co-founder of the clothing company North Face and Esprit. Here's James Reed. In his won words, Douglas made his fortune selling people countless things they don't need. He co-founded the clothing brand North Face and Esprit. But in the late 1980s, he turned his back on business to dedicate himself to conservation in Patagonia. He spends hundreds of millions on land in Chili and Argentina to establish vast natural reserves. The scheme was controversial, seen by some as a threat to economic development and even national sovereignty. But for Douglas Tompkins, preserving biodiversity trumped all. He died in the pristine wildness he loved and was so determined to protect.
