Wow, Verra might actually do something worthwhile? But this game-hunting mess follows the same thought lines as the "offsets" projects- Africa is the "backyard" for the rich North, we can use their forest land to ease our conscience about emissions via offsets, and of course, we need Africa for the fun of safaris and killing. A real hunter runs after the animal until it if out of breath and kills it with a knife, not at all like these rich white guys with rifles and entrapment. Every bit of this story is a sad commentary on human behavior, meanwhile we will hit a new record of CO2 levels this year https://phys.org/news/2023-10-carbon-dioxide-pollution.html

Sick and sickening. Hunting for food I will accept. Finding pleasure in killing beautiful animals for fun, I do not.
Obviously the concept of Voluntary Carbon Credits is Bull Shit
