“Perhaps the environmental group most readily associated with a business approach is the Nature Conservancy (TNC). For decades it has been using land markets to save habitat crucial to biodiversity. But even TNC is searching for new business models. At the Lone Mountain Summit, a meeting of environmental leaders organized by PERC to find common ground for applying market solutions, Paul Bauman, principal gifts officer for TNC, identified the need for a ‘virtual university’ to generate those models. Noting that no business school is filling the void, he suggested that PERC, TNC, and other groups team up to create this university.” (12/06)
