Privatization Of Nature | New Environmental Markets

Privatization Of Nature - Who is behind the new environmental wave of interest in planting forests in Afrika, making you buy rain-forest and climatic quotas for pollution? It surely wouldn’t be the same which made the last financial crises in sub prime loans? Privatization Of Nature (2014) Director: Sandrine Feydel, Denis Delestrac Stars: Bertrand Dussy, Framboise Gommendy, Laurent Jacquet Genre: Documentary Country: France Language: English Also Known As: Banking Nature Release Date: February 3, 2015 (France) Synopsis: We investigate the commercialization of the natural world. Protecting our planet has become big business with companies promoting new environmental markets. This involves species banking, where investors buy up vast swathes of land, full of endangered species, to enable them to sell ‘nature credits’. Companies whose actions destroy the environment are now obliged to buy these credits and new financial centres have sprung up, specializing in this trade.
