The CCDA has already commenced selling Carbon Offsets generated from customary owned land. This appears to be achieved by mapping it to the national boundary and ignoring customary ownership and constitutionally protected resource rights.

revision: The CCDA did not officially respond to the letter. Neither did it [make] public the requested plan.

It is just too easy to slip these schemes through approval stage by skipping a few important steps along the way - such as prior informed consent. As well, we all know the options of "Manufacturing Consent."
