A few months ago, Yvon Chouinard, founder and majority owner of Patagonia, dominated the headlines by donating almost all his wealth at once in a world-changing investment in climate action.

Patagonia is, first and foremost, the name of a region of Argentina and Chile; then, a globally recognized brand adopted it. But no one headline spoke about the real Patagonia and its true meaning.
