Thank you, this is bang on. Additionally, when a piece of Nature is “commoditized” by putting a price on it, debt is also created. What is actually being exchanged between the financial intermediaries is the (financial) debt; note that the debt to Nature and future generations is never repaid or absolved. That is the true net benefit to the business world - the passing on of obfuscated debt to society, concealed in the shell-game of offsets. The first step in combating biodiversity loss should be Not One More Sacrifice Zone. Nicht Vahr?
