Great report, thank you! This NCA is totally fatally flawed, but unfortunately, far too typical of other such schemes around the world, constructed to snatch forest resources from the commons for private profit. Truly, any attempt at prior, informed consent, however well-intentioned, cannot possibly encapsulate the true meaning of giving away ancestral lands for 100 years. And how could an Indigenous person alive today so encumber their future generations?
