Planet Visionaries – Ep 2: The Power of the Wild with Kris Tompkins

In this episode of Planet Visionaries, a landmark podcast series in partnership with the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative, host Alex Honnold sits down with Kris Tompkins, former CEO of Patagonia and co-founder of Tompkins Conservation. She explains how she became a trailblazing conservationist, protecting 14.8 million acres by creating or expanding 15 national parks in Chile and Argentina, and rewilding the land by restoring habitats and reintroducing key species such as jaguars, giant river otters and Darwin’s rhea. For nearly a century, Rolex has supported pioneering explorers. Over time, the company has moved from championing exploration for the sake of discovery to supporting initiatives to protect the planet. Through the Perpetual Planet Initiative, Rolex stands alongside the inspiring people who are dedicated to building a better future for all life on Earth. #Rolex #PlanetVisionaries #PerpetualPlanet
