Return of the Wild in Argentina
Season 1
Episode 5
Kris Tompkins went from Patagonia CEO to conservation visionary, spending her fortune with late husband Doug to protect over 16 million acres in Chile and Argentina. Miles O’Brien joins her in Argentina’s Ibera wetlands as jaguars, extinct there for a century, are captured, collared, and released into the wild. It’s a bold experiment in reversing extinction that comes with risk, loss, and hope.
