In Conversation With: Kristine Tompkins

In a fascinating conversation between Kristine Tompkins, co-founder of Tompkins Conservation, and Jonathan Baillie, we heard about her journey to create Iberá National Park and the groundbreaking rewilding initiative now taking place there – here we share our key learnings.

Conservation trips with Journeys With Purpose

Forming one of the most spectacular alpine landscapes in the Romanian Carpathians, the Făgăraș Mountains are home to some of Europe’s ecologically most valuable, unfragmented woodlands, harbouring the continent’s most significant biodiversity.

Observations From Parque Nacional Iberá

Wild bird with red head in Argentina

With just over three months until our first immersive journey to Argentina departs, we have checked in with the expert team of biologists and zoologists on the ground in Parque Nacional Iberá for the latest developments from the Fundación Rewilding programme.

My JWP experience was wild, literally as well as metaphorically. Riding through wildflower meadows, climbing through virgin forests, feasting on delicious locally sourced organic treats in ancient oak pastures with some of the most knowledgeable and experienced conservationists in the world, was an other-worldly memory I will always treasure.

Norway was a once in a lifetime adventure...The guides and hosts were so committed to sustainability and it was inspiring to spend time with them. This was a truly authentic trip where we experienced once-in-a-lifetime activities. King crab fishing, northern lights, reindeer sanctuary, dog sledding, snowmobiling, ice hotel and incredible food. This was a trip we will never forget!

I have been lucky enough to visit conservation initiatives in many parts of the world - seeing the rewilding of the Iberá Wetlands first-hand through Journeys with Purpose has to rank as one of my most enjoyable and inspirational conservation experiences.

My trip with JWP was inspiring, moving, engaging, surprising, fun, challenging, uplifting and motivating. I’ve come away with new friends, business associates, insights, understanding and greater determination to help accelerate rewilding globally.

This was an exceptional tour to the Carpathians with Journeys with Purpose and it exceeded my already high expectations by some distance. Everything about the trip was incredibly special - the hosts, the itinerary, the food and drink, the accommodation and above all the exceptional wildlife and scenery. Perfection!

It was a great privilege to learn about this beautiful part of the world with Barbara and Christoph Promberger. Their vision for the Foundation they have created to protect and sustain it and what they have achieved is phenomenal. Riding round the meadows and hills behind Barbara on my fabulous steed Aida was one of the most exhilarating moments of my life! The flora and abundance of insect life were heaven and we had unexpectedly close encounters with bears, beavers and bison and felt the lurking presence of wolves, lynx and boar. The ecosystem of the Făgăraș Mountains is alive and well and how lucky I was to explore it in the care of JWP.

The week spent in Romania with Barbara and Christophe was truly inspiring. They are an incredible couple and to have had the opportunity to get to know them and their vision thanks to Journeys with Purpose was the greatest privilege.
