REDD, Carbon Sequestration and other Environmental Services Credit Management
Carbon storage is the best known of the services that forests provide to mankind. The development of markets to give financial value to these services is adding opportunities for investment returns from forests, and the African and Asian markets are seen as particularly promising for generating this additional value.
Carbon is not only the best known but also the one with most value at the moment through carbon sequestration and quickly emerging markets for REDD credits (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation).
Other markets for forest environmental services are emerging with potential for the future, especially if built into management planning from the beginning. These include:
- Energy
- Nutrient (Soil quality)
- Water (Water quality)
- Sediment
- Phosphate
- Nitrate
- Sulphur
- Biodiversity
- Wildlife
The members of our Full Forest Value team are at the forefront of identifying and developing management approaches to unlock these values in forests throughout the world. Underpinned by Fountains Forestry’s depth of experience in the most developed of these markets (conservation easements in the USA) the disciplines and experience of this team offer investors robust value from these exciting new markets.
