The Best Lecture You Will Ever Watch on “Conservation”

"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."

Commentary: Greenwash! Now in New Improved Formula [Economic Valuation & Payment for Environmental Services]

"What about ecological economist Herman Daly who advocates Natural Capital and tradable permits markets, another financial instrument of exploitation? One answer is that all the aforementioned are from the USA and all apparently support the existing corporate model of market capitalism, including prices as efficient means of resource allocation."

NPIC: The Advocacy of the Neoliberalisation of Nature

"Most recently international support has been given for an experimental accountancy approach which shifts uneasily from physical measurement into monetary valuation, where apparently all the world's assets (whether human, natural or social) are to be conceptualised as capital to be made commensurable and traded-off one for the other as necessary... In the world of the mainstream economists and accountants, everything has a price and nothing is sacrosanct or inviolable."

‘This is not what you might want to hear,’ he says, but ‘no amount of psychological awareness will overcome people’s reluctance to lower their standard of living. So that’s my bottom line: there is not much hope. I’m thoroughly pessimistic. I’m sorry.’

FLASHBACK: How Nonprofit Careerism Derailed the “Revolution”

"I have a background in successful grassroots environmentalism and have butted heads more than once with the ineffective Big Greens and their funders. I learned early on that protecting grant portfolios and career tracks are far more important to these folks than protecting ecosystems. Once a staffer from Pew told me, "We fund reform, not revolution." From my perspective, they fund neither."

How Environmental Groups Gone Bad Greenwash Logging Earth’s Last Primary Old Forests

"Primary forest logging is a crime against Earth, the human family and all life - and those doing the logging, profiting and greenwashing the ecocide are dangerous criminals - who must be stopped and brought to justice. There is a zero chance of protecting and ending first time industrial logging of primary rainforests when the NGO Old Forest Sell-Outs say it is sustainable, even desirable, and continue to greenwash FSC old growth timber markets – now to be expanded with potential REDD funding – providing crucial political cover and PR for forest ecocide through their presence in the organizations."

Agribusiness: The Corporations that Control Conservation [WWF, Conservation International, Nature Conservancy]

"The ambition of market transformation is on a grand scale. There are schemes for palm oil (theRoundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil; RSPO), soybeans (the Round Table on Responsible Soy; RTRS), biofuels (the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels), Sugar (Bonsucro) and also for cotton, shrimp, cocoa and farmed salmon. These are markets each worth many billions of dollars annually and the intention is for these new “Responsible” and Sustainable” certified products to dominate them."
