Teak Reforestation in Columbia

Every time I speak with the gentleman who runs the teak reforesting business in Columbia, I become more astonished at how safe, sane, and civilized that part of the world appears to have become. Here’s a video on investing in Columbia which does a very good job in assuaging concern the viewer might have that he or his employees will wind up caught in the crossfire between two rival drug lords.

The video makes the point that Columbia values forestry projects very highly, offering 100% relief from income tax for the life of the project.

Again, I love the concept: Pay someone quite nominally to raise trees for you from saplings to maturity, absorbing atmospheric CO2 at the time your investment is growing – literally.  If you’re interested, please let me know, and I’ll put you in touch.
