Zurich, Switzerland - South Pole’s Asorpar Reforestation Project in Colombia is proof that a sustainable approach, with a focus on biodiversity, can bring substantial financial returns. The project just issued its first 128,900 VCUs and will generate up to 1 million € for the project owner in 2011 alone. The positive revenue flow ensures project longevity and additionality and will inspire others to take a similar approach, especially in Central and South America where plantation projects exceed 95% of the forestry sector (FAO State of the World’s Forests Report 2010).
