"Prevarication is the process whereby lies are told and truths are omitted. The vast majority of voices speaking for or about the Green New Deal have either a narrative or a funding stream to protect, sometimes it’s both."

Here, Greta Thunberg becomes the official face for, and of, corporate capture. The rebranding of REDD (the UN "reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation" market mechanism), and the coming New Deal for Nature – under the auspices and brand of "natural climate solutions".

"We have reached the Brave New Moment where there is no longer a distinction between our "movements" and the corporate forces that have been created to further our oppression and servitude – all in compliance to economic growth and capitalism for the worlds ruling class. All of this to be achieved on the backs of the most vulnerable – our youth."

"In this Samburu woman, I saw the embodiment of a community praised for its traditional conservation ethics that spared for the world vast populations of diverse wildlife, a community, however, shunned by the world, even as acres of paper and decades of airtime are expended by many a conservationist and organization to discuss their welfare. Upon this revelation, I refused to play along, and I made it my career to expose the rot."

"Sadly, over the last two decades, in the midst of our ongoing ecological and associated geo-political crises, a range of environmental non-governmental organisations (ENGOs), rather than opposing such schemes, have formed alliances with some of the worst corporate polluters and resource extractors in the world and now actually promote them."

"That hot afternoon in Amboseli; I experienced my road to Damascus. I realized that I was part of a system that had no respect for the very bedrock on which it stood. I was a qualified black face put in place to smooth over fifty years of exploitation in two and to create a pleasant backdrop that would allow for the renewal of this insidious arrangement."
"The roles of NGOs, corporations, and the state are increasingly indistinguishable. Market mechanisms and logics are becoming seen as the only way to do effective conservation. In describing the elite and its links and connections, the article aims to inform and guide further research into conservation politics and its neoliberalization."
