He served two years as chairman of the board of the Nature Conservancy, the world's largest not-for-profit environmental organization with total assets of $3.3 billion. Unlike most environmental groups it collaborates with corporations to help them make environmentally sound development decisions. "It compromises to achieve its goals, and it collaborates with business," says Paulson. "That bothers some people. It attracts me."<ref? Sellers (2003)</ref>
