WHY INVEST IN BIA TREE PLANTING PROJECTS?

Picture
The investment outlook of timber is today as promising as it was during the twentieth century. In particular, timber is the single best performing asset of the last 30 years. From 1976-2005 timber saw average annual returns of over 13%. If you had invested $20,000 in timber in 1972, you'd be sitting on over a million dollars in 2006. That is better than stocks (70% less), real estate (75% less) and bonds (76% less). Links to articles about the attractiveness of investments in growing trees for harvest are here. Detailed calculations of potential gross return of an investment in mahogany trees are provided here.




BIA MOTIVES TO PLANT

We have multiple motives for making this offer to potential investors:

  • We still have 3000 hectares available for tree farming and there are many opportunities in acquiring deforested land in the same area. 
  •  Our tree farms benefit the local community by providing much needed employment in the area. The more trees we can plant the more families will be employed. 
  • Trees are among the earth's most useful and beautiful products of nature. Trees are crucial to mankind's survival. The oxygen we breathe is released by trees and other plants - two mature trees provide enough oxygen for a family of four; trees prevent erosion; trees provide food, shelter, and material for animals and man. As trees grow they help reduce global warming by removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and the soil, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. One acre of trees removes 2.6 tons of carbon dioxide per year. Investing in trees helps improve our environment!
  • Trees planted on farms offer to woodworkers an alternative to material acquired through rainforest clear-cutting, in this way relieving some of the pressure in the remaining world's rainforests. 
  • Our long term vision for the future use of the land we own is to convert it into a protected privately owned forest by means of an ecological easement of the land. As a matter of fact we already allocated sub areas within our tree farms to non-commercial plants and trees without intention of harvesting them. The fruit and shelter trees are planted to provide habitat for wildlife, in particular birds. We plan to have as many land as we can acquire converted to forest once we harvest planted trees.
