Survival International’s president wanted it to support carbon trading, and tried to prevent the NGO opposing NRT land grabs. It’s one reason why Survival split after my retirement as CEO in 2021.
Looking at the above photo, I can’t see how that sun-drenched soil can hold much carbon and certainly not increased carbon without serious irrigation. And exactly how does one company (and not another, or multiple others) map out and claim any imagined environmental benefit therein for themselves, exclusively. This is colonialism, part 2.

Yes, it's colonialism and it's not just this 'project'.
