Mitigating climate change and reducing poverty.
There is an urgent need for a new approach in meeting global warming, social economic and developmental targets. In combining these targets, the overall priority is to provide rapid impact in the area.

Our aims are to facillitate a climate solution by planting fast growing rubber trees to mitigate GHG emission. Cocao trees will be planted as undergrowth in the shadow of the rubber trees, thus increasing GHG mitigation.
Added enviromentalbenefits are the use of organic fertilizers which will save 250 000 tons of carbon, and the establishment of bio energy plants and mini hydro plants to produces clean energy.

The mitigation of ’CO2’ by planting fast growing rubber trees has an immediate effect, which continues until the harvestin of trees on maturity (31 years) and thereafter with new planting.

The benefit to poverty reduction will be achieved instantly, both by the planting of rubber and cocoa trees, as well as other crops for in-planting according to local environmental stabdards.
The projekt is committed to prioritize basic needs of the local population befor distribution of profit. In line with its commitment to social responsible manegment, the project will pay the workers 50% above minimum wages, including social benefits.

Addition knowledge will be shared with local communities in trading on the clearing of lands, marking of compost, producing of micro organisms for fertilisers and on techniques to maintain forest and plantations with the levels of return.

The project will be implemented in cooperation with social responsible investors and individuals all over the world.

Plantation investment is a long term commitment. The first income is after 6 years after planting. It reaches breakeven after 10 years, with a peak after 15 years, providing a total profit of USD 6,9 million after return of invetment. This represent 5% average profit of investment capital per year.

The project also represents a unique investment opportunity from enviromental and social perspectiv with carbon trading as an economic incentiveve.

There is an urgent need to build a new humanity!
we invite individual, organisations, business companies and other to join us and contribute to a bett world for all.
