  Apparently you can get "Gold Standard Land Use and Forests" certification for your forest and sell carbon credits for $18 USD/tonne or so to polluters. https://www.goldstandard.org/luf https://www.goldstandard.org/luf Here they calculate carbon benefit for 7500 hectares in Cameroon, which appears to be ~3 million tonnes annually: https://www.cifor.org/fctoolbox/download/Topic-4-Section-D.pdf https://www.cifor.org/fctoolbox/download/Topic-4-Section-D.p... ($7200/hectare annually seems like a lot of money to me...)

    Seems good until Carbon Credits are pulled or altered at some point in the near future due to abuse

  Sustainable forestry is not a particularly complicated business, and if you are selling the wood for buildings etc. the carbon is not released back into the atmosphere for quite some time. A lot of jurisdictions are looking at updating building codes so you can use treated wood for larger construction projects. If this was done in a number of large markets, it could reduce demand for concrete, which is the number two contributor to GHG emissions. UBC completed a wooden 18 story apartment building a couple years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G22kYhaT-h4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G22kYhaT-h4
