Nature for sale: We’ll analyze narratives that often go ignored. So that Indigenous peoples, territories and complex realities don’t get reduced to a single image. Share this post.

In the #NatureForSale series we’ll look at the perspectives that are ignored. Because Indigenous peoples, territories and complex realities shouldn’t be reduced to a single image.

"Power is the ability not just to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person" - - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Nigerian writer.

It’s a product of history, ideas, images and a particular narrative around “nature”. We’re going to put it all into question: how else can we bring real change? 🤔

5/5 In this logic, nature becomes a balance-sheet entry, not a living system.

The story is “saving the planet.” The reality: saving a financial system addicted to infinite growth, with BlackRock cast as the central banker of nature itself.

Reintroducing wolves to Highlands could help native woodlands, says study Researchers say the animals could keep red deer numbers under control, leading to storage of 1m tonnes of CO2

Seriously?! 🌍💰 Everything in nature is getting a price tag. Biodiversity credits. Carbon markets. Ecosystem pricing. Do wolves 🐺 need a CO₂ value to matter? What happens when nature’s price tag says ‘not worth saving’?
