The Lorax and the Land Ranch
Sheldon Atwood. January 20, 2007.
Excerpt from Conference Program:
"Profit and conservation are two words rarely found in the same sentence. This presentation illustrates a business model whose goal is to perpetuate fully functioning landscapes that yield sustained ecological, social, and financial wealth and personal satisfaction. The model is based on fundamental principles of ecology, behavior, and economics and is being applied by Carrus Land Systems to finance acquisition and management of western agricultural lands. Creative ownership strategies and innovative stewardship practices combine to accelerate efficient conservation efforts and encourage sustainable ranch management. Our approach complements traditional land conservation by offering voluntary accountability and direct evidence of desired outcomes. These outcomes include profitable conservation partnerships, sustainable communities and sound stewardship."
