"Lululemon Athletica Inc. founder Chip Wilson is making his biggest
philanthropic gift ever — and one of the largest among Canada’s ultra-rich —
to protect vast tracts of wilderness in the western part of the country.
Wilson and his wife, Summer, have pledged C$100 million ($75.8 million) through
their foundation to acquire wilderness space in British Columbia. The province
is home to 5.3 million people and holds temperate rainforests, rocky
coastlines, snowcapped mountains and even desert lands in an area larger than
Germany and France combined.
The money will be used by the B.C. Parks Foundation to buy forests and
repurchase mining, forestry and other resource licenses, turning “massive
amounts of land” into parks that indigenous groups would manage and use for
revenue-making purposes such as tourism, Wilson said in an interview."
