180 Degrees South

So after watching this movie, my drive to conserve open spaces and explore the world has just been heightened. Patagonia is just one area of the earth with untouched beauty on the brink of globalization. The only way to conserve these areas is by buying them. For a few years now my goal in life has been to get a degree and make a substantial amount of money so that I can buy the rights to land right here in America, stopping the spread of urban sprawl to those places which it has not yet touched. Before this movie, it didnt even occur to me to do this with land throughout the world.
Ironically, I believe it will also be my love of rock climbing that drives me to travel the world in search of new land to buy. This movie is inspirational to say the least and to me if private owners held more conservation area then the land might be taken care of better.
