$ 292 US per acre Minimum purchase is 4000 acres parcel owner will finance with down payment Land Uses 1) Carbon Annuity opportunity (Reforestation, Avoided Deforestation and Afforestation opportunities) Carbon annuities have been suggested as a means for rewarding landowners for preserving forests and sequestering carbon. Although this is an intuitively appealing approach, the benefits of the sequestration activities have not been compared with the opportunity cost of preserving the forest. The benefits of carbon sequestration are computed based on estimates in the literature on the carbon contained in a hectare of rain forest and the damages associated with a tonne of carbon emissions. Estimates of carbon stored per hectare is around 200 tons/per hectare. These are usually sold on the Voluntary or CDM Markets. 2) Develop eco-lodges (Sport fishing and Hunting). Laying on a lagoon this River is an enchanting combination valuable tree species, a river, wildlife and sport fishing. This river can be used as a private vacation hideaway, or as a sport fishing club. The future owner can enjoy world class fishing for tarpon, jack, snook, kingfish, or simply relax under the shade and tranquility of the coconut trees. There are a lot of bird watching and wild animals in the area. Property has great eco-tourism potential. 3) Offset carbon emissions (sell Carbon Credits) Global warming is caused by the build up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels to provide the energy and services we use every day. We burn fossil fuels for electricity (from coal and gas) in our homes and businesses, our cars, flights and to create the food, clothes and other things we buy and consume every day. Carbon offsets enable individuals and businesses to reduce the CO2 emissions they are responsible for by offsetting, reducing or displacing the CO2 in another place, typically where it is more economical to do so. Carbon offsets typically include renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects. As more and more people are concerned about global warming and seeking to reduce their climate impact, carbon offsets, along with personal carbon reductions, provide an important solution to global warming. 4) Conserve biodiversity Tropical rainforests support the greatest diversity of living organisms on Earth. Although they cover less than 2 percent of Earth's surface, they house an estimated 50 percent of all life on the planet. The immense numbers of creatures that inhabit the tropical rainforests are so great—an estimated 5-50 million species— they are almost incomprehensible. The sheer range of numbers alone suggests the limited extent of our knowledge of these forests. 6) Corporate Social Responsibility Great way for corporations to offset their carbon emissions, conserve biodiversity and preserve the rainforest. 7) You can also get a permit from the Government to harvest the trees and maybe do a bio fuel project or development, there is no limit to the possibilities ?
