The foundational laws of natures economics are diversity and giving.
–––
This ecological capital is the true wealth upon this planet.
It cannot be owned, bought nor sold, it simply gives itself freely to all and asks nothing in return for this bounty.
Here in the Dehesa, the animals and plants do not need to pay in order to live, eat and sleep.
This is the natural order and the way that things should be.
