Conservation International

node
A group of big green charities wrote the rulebook for a money trick that lets companies claim to protect nature while doing the opposite.
Who they are

Conservation International, a conservation group. It was named in a 1988 report written by Michael Sweatman and representatives of the WWF, The Nature Conservancy, Barbara Ward's International Institute for Environment and Development, and the World Resources Institute.

What they do

The report outlined how those swaps work — or more accurately, don't.

How it works

The 1988 report was penned by Michael Sweatman and representatives of the WWF, Conservation International, The Nature Conservancy, Barbara Ward's International Institute for Environment and Development, and the World Resources Institute. It described how those swaps work — or more accurately, don't. Conservation International is also linked to Mark Carney through board membership on the Arnhold Distinguished Fellowship Program Board. That link does not establish funding flows or operational control over Conservation International.

Why it matters

It shows how the rules for a conservation money trick were written by the very groups that would use them, and that the trick often fails.
