Traces how financial instruments combined with rigorous zoning, tenure/consent, and seed provenance can incentivize forestry investment on pre-zoned, non-forested land.
This model is powerful because it aligns capital markets with conservation and restoration goals. By pre-zoning land and clarifying tenure, the barriers to investment are drastically reduced, and investors can finance forestry for sustainable production rather than speculative clearing. Challenges include ensuring communities’ consent and equitable benefit-sharing, guaranteeing that provenance verification is robust, and maintaining long-term incentives for investors to preserve natural ecosystems rather than converting them.
