I really enjoy your videos, I just took some marshmallows while watching this! And I agree in the majority of this, at some points I do not think are SO relevant. One example is adding non-native tree species in a ARR project. I guess it does make sense in a "pure" reforestation without any motivation to make profit with the forest products (nuts, fruits in general) but it doesnt make sense if the non-native tree brings finantial or ecological benefits within the systems, which are the case of agroforest systems. And totally agree with the lack of clarity of the VERRA's methodologies along the text (the sentences are sometimes very dificult to understand even if you are a native english speaker) and the equations are very VERY dificult to get, one case that I took more than a month to understand and still some uncertainties is the performance benchmark methodology in VM0047, the text brings confusion and when you believe you understood and go to the examples, you see you made all wrong! And the worst part is that the examples' values came from nothing and resulted in something, there is no a clarification of the steps needed to achieve the examples' results... Well I'm just getting this off my chest XD You always bring a nice perspective of what is going on around! Thank for making videos like this one!
In Brazil, carbon markets need to focus on forest restoration. Without restoration, there is no conservation and it encourages deforestation.
Agree!
