G'day Belombre...C/Planet focus mainly on rainforests.That is those under threat. There are several levels of testing to see how much carbon they may hold. The more intensive the testing, the higher the ranking goes for that particular area. Those forests tested this way(the hard way)attract a higher premium, meaning the credits are worth more as the forest has been tested to the hilt and found to be a bigger carbon sink than say basic woodland or my front garden...lol.
Whoever worked all this out must've surely been on drugs. Such a bizzarre concept, but if it means we can retain rainforest rather than log it or clear it so Mcdonalds can grow they're 1/4 pounders by the gazillion..then i think it's a good thing, and aside from that, the people who live there get to stay and are paid for looking after it, then they can look after themselves.
I'm recapping approx what i heard at the meeting, so if anyone reading this has a better take on it i'd be keen to hear. It certainly is a mind *%#@ trying to fathom it.
Cheers.....polski
