Rewildology

Journey with me deep into Pumalín Douglas Tompkins National Park, the ecological crown jewel of Chile's Route of Parks, where I stood in awe before ancient Alerce trees (Fitzroya cupressoides) that have thrived for over 3,000 years. In this immersive episode, I explore one of Earth's most pristine temperate rainforests, spanning nearly one million acres and storing an estimated 229.3 million metric tonnes of carbon. Witness the remarkable conservation legacy of Douglas Tompkins, founder of The North Face, who transformed controversial land purchases into a revolutionary approach to ecosystem preservation. I was stunned to discover how this biodiversity hotspot receives a staggering 6,000mm of annual rainfall, creating one of the planet's wettest temperate forests where coastal fog-swept valleys meet Andean peaks. Learn why these forests store three times more carbon per hectare than the Amazon and how they protect 25% of the world's remaining Alerce trees - cousins to California's giant sequoias. From the eruption-scarred town of Chaitén to breathtaking "Jurassic Park" landscapes, this episode reveals how Pumalín represents the future of conservation: not just protecting wilderness, but creating corridors that maintain ecological connections across an entire region.

In this episode of Rewildology, I explore the overlooked wetlands and sunken forests that form the northern gateway to Chile's Route of Parks in the rainy Maullín River Basin. Alongside Fernando, Andres, and David from Fundación Legado Chile, I track the elusive southern river otter (huillín) - an endangered species with only 15 individuals remaining in the entire 85-kilometer watershed. Through camera traps and conservation strategies, we discover how invasive American mink threaten this fragile ecosystem by competing for the same food sources. The Valdivian temperate rainforest here represents one of Earth's rarest forest types, with biodiversity found at similar latitudes only in New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. Learn how Legado Chile's holistic conservation approach combines wildlife monitoring, environmental education, community engagement, and waste management to protect these vital wetlands. Despite challenges from rapid population growth and agricultural runoff, their work shows how protecting overlooked ecosystems is just as crucial as preserving Patagonia's famous landscapes.

In this episode of Rewildology, journey to the southernmost point of continental America, where the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans collide at Cape Froward. I explore Chile's newest national park-in-the-making, where Gabriela Garrido of Rewilding Chile shares how this groundbreaking conservation project protects the crucial intersection between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. From zodiac adventures with playful dolphins to discussions about indigenous co-management with Kawésqar communities, discover how Cape Froward represents a revolutionary approach to conservation that bridges land and sea. Learn how Rewilding Chile recently acquired an additional 34,000 hectares of wilderness at the time of this recording, expanding their vision for a protected corridor that benefits both wildlife and local communities. The creation of this park demonstrates a fundamental shift in conservation thinking, extending protection from mountaintop to seafloor in one continuous system.
