Wow, I saw an episode of Nightline recently that featured a story about husband and wife Doug & Kristine Tompkins, who are certainly doing their part for conservation with the beautiful Pumalin Park in Chile. I just hope it can continue.

They are fortunate enough to be able to afford what they're doing, and I'm glad. I see it with my own eyes every day, more and more trees cut down just in my little part of the world. Why? To make room for more industry, convenience stores, wal-marts, etc...

I realize that progress is inevitable, and the world population is growing by leaps and bounds year after year. Square footage per person will just get smaller and smaller, roads will become more congested or more roads will be built, of course to build more roads more of our nature here on earth will be destroyed.

Anyway, back to my original intent of this post. Simply to give my thanks to Doug Tompkins and Kristine Tompkins for what they are doing.

Here is a the story from nightline, along with a good video about them.
