Ep. 261 Planet Positive Series | 108 Forests with Ariana Ivan

108 forests addresses today’s outdated forestry and land ownership models.

Under a perpetual purpose trust 108 Forests saves forests from deforestation, degradation, or damaging logging. Through the acquisition or donation of natural landscapes, it is their goal to transform the buying and selling cycle into a #conservation and #regeneration cycle where forests are not to be re-sold and used for unethical purposes.

108 Forests long-term ambition is to show how forests are profitable without cutting or degrading them. To do so, one must separate the concept of ownership from land-use and transfer the land’s working right to people who want to become forest caretakers.

Forest caretakers will be awarded leases for creating positive businesses on and for the protected forest areas.
