What is the problem we're trying to solve? Here is the Natural Process synopsis:
To improve ecosystem health, invest in shares of private enterprises selling uses of natural processes that are priced by their ability to offset environmental risk.
Again, why does anyone need to profit from our conservancies at all?

It's counter-intuitive to suggest that someone who makes a profit from stomping around in the woods will suddenly acquire a conscience and decide to limit that behavior. Staying totally out of these areas would make more sense. But we don't have to do that to learn from previous forestry mistakes. I'm not buying privatization as a solution. It's the fox guarding the henhouse.

No, it doesn't because of the problem with invasive species. I'll see if I can find the thread with the pictures of Conservancy land that has been destroyed by leaving it alone. Setting land aside is what is killing the land. You need to read further and get off the whole profit thing.

That right there tells me you have no clue what Natural Process is all about. Buy the book before you judge.

Let me ask you this, is the UL tag on electrical stuff "the fox guarding the hen house"? Is innovation in the health care system, Conservation of peoples lives, driven by profit or a desire to save people? Innovation in environmental conservation can be driven by profit and will be more effective if it is. Open your mind. Natural Process is a whole new way of thinking. You can't get there using old models.

Mark will get back to you this evening. He is out pulling weeds right now. Mean while, I'll look for those pictures.
