That sounds very interesting. While avoiding monoculture, it might help incentivize locals if you integrate (if not focus on) trees with economic value that should grow well in that region, like the rubber tree hevea brasiliensis, the quinine-producing cinchona, and garcinia species like garcinia kola and garcinia mangostana. If there's a certain density of such trees per acre, the locals can surely earn some extra money by harvesting them from time to time, in a substantially non-destructive way.
