VOICED: A billionaire on a green mission

The video explores the efforts of Douglas Tompkins, an American billionaire, to conserve Argentina's wetlands. He has purchased 10% of the wetlands since 1998, converting them into a private reserve. Tompkins aims to restore the original ecosystem and plans to donate the land as a national park. However, his actions have sparked controversy, with some locals accusing him of displacing rural workers and exploiting Latin America's resources. Despite criticism, Tompkins remains committed to his vision, drawing parallels to the creation of national parks in the U.S.
