Environmental protection is a lucrative worldwide market. The businesses of sustainable development and green growth are already booming, but are often unaware that a new step has been taken: land, animals and plants are now considered financial products. This impressive investigation leads us to Uganda, Brazil, the Amazon, the US, Malaysia…telling the story of the new economic and financial control of living resources on a global scale, a veritable enterprise of predation. A documentary, to be shown on Arte, will accompany the book.
