3. what a horrible idea
Thu Mar 8, 2012, 09:29 AM

for a non-native species monoculture to be used as a carbon credit bank. the species is not native to Colombia, the habitat quality would be miniscule. the teak would likely still be harvested on a rotating basis and sold for wood products and the company would receive a large financial reward to boot.

its a horrible idea and precedent even aside from the AUC criminal allegations.
