Giving Trees and Forests an Economic 'Living Value'

Centree finances the protection of old growth forests by turning them into investable, living assets. This offsets the economic pressure to destroy these fragile ecosystems, creating ongoing income that delivers both investor returns and funding for long-term sustainable land stewardship. Centree uses low-carbon blockchain technology to value and authenticate areas of old growth forests, issuing digital securities that combine ongoing carbon revenues with a new way of connecting a liquid market price to the age of a tree. In this way, Centree will make old growth protection a new savings vehicle for retail and institutional investors, while providing income for the owners and stewards of the land. With this regenerative system in place, the living forest will have a quantifiable economic value to counterbalance extractive market forces that only value the forest when it is dead. https://www.centree.org/ All sounds very innovative and exciting, I can't wait to see how this project unfolds!

    Centree is promoting the project that I posted at https://devpost.com/software/sustainable-carbon-credit-trading about a year ago. I posted another project using the carbon pricing standard at http://green247.org/credit.htm as an example on how to use your environmental credit to become the steward of the forests you have proven you can protect.

      As long as the value is calculated accurately and every benefit a forest provides is accounted for as well as every negative impact of cutting a forest down. It can be dangerous if these resources are undervalued and theses values are then considered established.

        seems very interesting. Quite a shame that we have to put a price on forests in order to protect them but I guess it is the only solution nowadays
