Building a thriving, high-quality voluntary carbon market is a long uphill journey, but one well worth the work. 🚴⛰️ Philanthropic funding plays an essential in catalyzing this market, resulting in carbon programs that protect our natural world and support rural landowners and communities for decades to come. 🌳🧑‍🌾 The Family Forest Carbon Program is thankful to all the philanthropic partners who have joined us on this journey to unlock the potential of America’s family forests! 📈 🔓 Want to learn how you can support AFF’s work and America's family forests? go to: https://www.forestfoundation.org/how-we-do-it/philanthropy/ #ForestConservation #ForestPreservation #forestprotection #HabitatProtection #familyforests #RuralEmpowerment (fb)
