Re funding sources, I remember being struck by a piece in National Geographic recently, outlining the $billions being spent on shoring up the natural ecosystems of the Missouri(?) basin in order to protect oil supply lines for the US.

Where biodiversity genuinely benefits business, money can be made to flow...

Equally the prospect of legal liability can be a wonderful way to stir up cash.

Or human health scares...
