Description
A Wild Idea tells the incredible true story of a man who abandoned his comfortable life to protect the planet. In 1991, he flew 6,500 miles south to a shack in Patagonia, where he spent a quarter century trying to preserve the region's untouched beauty.
Jonathan Franklin, award-winning journalist and author, chronicles the remarkable journey of this environmentalist and entrepreneur. From his early days as a CEO of Esprit and The North Face, to his later life as a conservationist, Tompkins' story is one of transformation and dedication.
This book is a testament to the power of one person's vision and determination to make a lasting impact on the world. With stunning descriptions of Patagonia's natural beauty, A Wild Idea is a compelling read for anyone interested in environmentalism and conservation.
