The problem is this:
1. Tree survival is an issue before the trees become “visible” from space.
2. Project funding typically lasts 3-5 years at a max.
3. In the organisations which run this type of project, there is an “I’ll be gone, you’ll be gone” staff problem: flawed projects are funded and staffed by people who know they won’t carry the can for project failure.
4. To be very realistic, funders of these projects don’t care. Indeed, corruption might be a feature rather than a bug.
- tinco 4y agoAh that's unfortunate. I'm sure there's technological solutions to point 1, but that's pretty irrelevant if the other three points are true. It seems a bit ridiculous if a project funding is 3-5 years, if it's supposed to be a permanent solution. Are corrupt funders really such a large share of money for these projects? Is it industrial companies using non-profit funding to grease wheels for their endeavors?
