Pumalín Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pumalin Park (Spanish: Parque Pumalín) is a private park in the Palena Province of Chile owned by American businessman Douglas Tompkins. It is currently divided into two areas, and he is currently attempting to buy the land dividing them. This has been met with strong opposition from the people of the hamlet of Huinay, which is in the area Tompkins intends to buy. This naturepark with an area of 2700 km² is noted for its Valdivian temperate rainforests, ecotourism and very high biodiversity.

ABC News profiled the park in its nightly news broadcast on June 19, 2007.[1]
