Saving the World...

... by buying it.

An interesting story about what happens when a capitalist starts buying up wilderness areas for conservation purposes. I wonder what would happen if this became a trend amongst the super-rich? On one hand vast areas of the world would be protected from exploitation. On the other hand, local people would be cut off from their homelands. One thing's for sure, you aren't going to please everybody.
