LOS ESTEROS DEL IBERA, Argentina

The American multimillionaire who founded the North Face and Esprit clothing has snapped up more than half a million acres of the Esteros del Ibera, a vast Argentine marshland teeming with wildlife.

Tompkins, 64, is a hero to some for his environmental stewardship. Others resent his land purchases as a foreign challenge to their national patrimony.

awesome, I always said if I had a lot of money I would just go buy a whole lot of land, and protect it by not letting ppl develop it.
