Frequently Asked Questions

Clearing emits carbon now and also removes future annual sequestration.
No. They are broad planning defaults by forest type. Formal work needs field inventory or approved datasets.
Avoidance is usually stronger than restoration. If clearing is unavoidable, protect buffers and price restoration upfront.
