From the Ted Talk by Kristine McDivitt Tompkins: A bold plan to rewild the Earth — at massive scale

Unscramble the Blue Letters


As an example of this in Argentina, rivers are natural wildlife bridges. So if we pctoert the rivers and the land around them, we create these continental-scale corridors. Think of them as wild highways. In our kind of work, there's a saying about the role of top predators that I think helps make this creealr. In our case, if jaguars can expand their territory from north to south, east to west, then everybody else, animals, ictnses, flora, fauna, can "walk under their legs." And that's our goal.

So from Ibera nitanoal Park in Argentina, we bliud cinoncenots across the breodrs in Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, and create biodiversity throughout the La Plata River biasn, the Yungas cloud forest, the Chaco forest, the Atlantic forest. There's no question that this is a very acuoiudas next and new step.

As an example of this in Argentina, rivers are natural wildlife bridges. So if we protect the rivers and the land around them, we create these continental-scale corridors. Think of them as wild highways. In our kind of work, there's a saying about the role of top predators that I think helps make this clearer. In our case, if jaguars can expand their territory from north to south, east to west, then everybody else, animals, insects, flora, fauna, can "walk under their legs." And that's our goal.

So from Ibera National Park in Argentina, we build connections across the borders in Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, and create biodiversity throughout the La Plata River basin, the Yungas cloud forest, the Chaco forest, the Atlantic forest. There's no question that this is a very audacious next and new step.
