burkinaboy discovered 18 months ago- The Nature Conservancy has spent about $1 billion buying forests or paying for agreements that prevent development and guarantee public access. One of the nation's largest conservation deals protects 218,000 acres in 10 states, land formerly owned by International Paper. In Maine, 98 percent of the land in Plum Creek's plan will be protected if the state approves development. Companies can satisfy shareholders while pleasing people who want to keep forests wild, says Bill Ginn, who manages the conservancy's Global Forest Partnership. "People are passionate about where they live," Ginn says. "It's not an abstract concept to them. It's their backyard."
