A couple of questions come to mind from this interesting longitudinal forensic accounting of Carbon Tanzania's activity with the Hadzabe. First, and maybe I missed it, but what revenue sharing per carbon credit sold do the communities receive? Have there been systematic payments? Or is the principal benefit from this relationship the land tenure security received through the CCRO? And if sustainable land use/reduced deforestation is the objective, given the information provided it seems to imply that the carbon crediting process has not added too much value. Has anyone attempted to calculate the capital investment to set up all the technical and institutional architecture for an activity it seems if I am understanding correctly that in this case, the Hadzabe would've likely been doing on their own anyway? Implying that a more direct for payment for ecosystem services could arguably be more efficient, versus working through many layers of intermediaries each taking their cut. Happy to be corrected if I am misinterpreting the possible moral of this story.
This juror recommends a verdict of not guilty.
