Writer Alex Postman heads deep into the wetlands and steppes of Argentina to discover the latest pioneering project by conservation group Rewilding Argentina, led by former Patagonia CEO Kris Tompkins. As part of a grand plan to protect 15 million acres of land in Argentina and Chile, Alex heads out on foot and horseback to find jaguars, giant anteaters and 9,000-year-old cave paintings among epic landscapes – and learns why Tompkins is more driven than ever, despite the loss of her husband and philanthropic partner Doug.
