Nature, Inc. is a documentary-style television series that aired on Planet Green, which explores the relationship between business and nature. The series debut back in 2008, and was created as a way to show how companies can pursue profit while also making an effort to protect and preserve the environment.

Throughout the series, viewers get an inside look into the ways in which large corporations are attempting to balance capitalism with environmental stewardship. We see a variety of businesses around the world, each facing their own unique challenges and opportunities when it comes to sustainability.

Some episodes of Nature, Inc. focus on an individual business, such as Patagonia, the outdoor clothing and gear company that has become known for its progressive environmental policies. Other episodes examine an industry in general, such as the logging industry in British Columbia. Each episode seeks to delve deeply into the complexities of the issues, showing both the successes and the struggles of each company or industry.

One of the strengths of the series is the way it presents a wide range of perspectives. We see the CEOs and other high-level executives of the companies, as well as the workers on the ground. We hear from environmentalists and activists who are pushing for change, and from local people whose lives are directly impacted by the operations of the companies being profiled. This multifaceted approach allows viewers to get a comprehensive picture of each situation.

One episode that stands out is "The Last Rainforest", which focuses on the work of the Rainforest Foundation UK. This nonprofit organization works to protect the rainforests of South America, and the episode shows their efforts to engage with large corporations to encourage sustainable practices. We see the challenges the organization faces in trying to get companies to make changes, as well as the successes they have had.

Another episode, "The Business of Extinction", investigates the role of the wildlife trade in driving species towards extinction. The show takes viewers to Indonesia, where there is a booming market for exotic pets, and shows the impact that this trade is having on the country's unique wildlife. We see efforts to regulate the trade, as well as the challenges faced by those trying to protect the animals.

The series is expertly produced, with stunning visuals and rich storytelling. The use of actual footage from the companies and industries being profiled adds a level of authenticity, and the commentary from experts and insiders is highly informative. Viewers are drawn into each story, and are left with a nuanced understanding of the complicated issues around business and the environment.

Overall, Nature, Inc. is an important and engaging series that sheds light on the ways in which companies can work towards profitability and sustainability in tandem. It's a must-watch for anyone interested in the intersection of business and the environment.
