The Nature Conservancy is a fraud. They’re predators using the flag of non-profit activism and environmentalism to swindle almost a billion dollars per year.

About: The Nature Conservancy is an environmental non-profit that does approximately 1 billion dollars in annual revenue and has 6 billion dollars in assets. Just in the U.S., they own 2 million acres of land and have easements on 3 million acres in the US. They have bought and sold…I mean “help protect”, 21 million acres in the US and over 100 million acres across the world. Its mission is to preserve lands to enhance the environment, and they call themselves “Nature’s real estate agent”.

The Scam: The Nature Conservancy purchases private land or slaps an ‘environmental’ easement to willing landowners, and then sells or leases the land to private, state and federal agencies, often at considerable mark-up.
