I am writing this in response to an article on carbon credit trading.
I am writing this in response to an article on carbon credit trading.
My father Dr. Richard Marshall Bond was a Yale Biologist '33 who assisted the US Department of the Interior in setting up a 147 acre tree farm growing Swietenia Mahagoni Jacquensis on St. Croix United States Virgin Islands in 1954. In February 1956 he was written up in an article in National Geographic on the United States Virgin Islands partly describing his work with Mahogany reforestation by airplane. Around the same time my father and mother purchased a hundred acres adjoining the federal tree farm.
Only about three years ago my family approached the Yale FES including Gus Speth to offer sale of our remaining tree farm to them at a reduced price in honor of my father and were tuned down. I find recent developments around tropical reforestation and carbon credit trading to be very exciting. I have been approached recently by some people operating tree reforestation tracts for seed and seedlings. This is not my primary area but seeing a recent PBS documentary on Dorjee Sun and this article do give me reason to see how my family farm fits into the equation.
Then on top of that is the knowledge that the area that the tree farm is located is a haven for hedge funds and private equity firms.
