Introduction
The Tropical Forest Environmental Services Trading Platform (TFESTP) is an ambitious project of CES and other potential partners and stakeholders aimed at leveraging technology to empower farmers and communities in Latin America’s tropical forests. This initiative seeks to create a robust digital platform that enables the trading of environmental services, making conservation a viable economic activity that can compete with traditional drivers of deforestation such as agriculture and livestock.
The Tropical Forest Environmental Services Trading Platform represents a transformative approach to forest conservation in Latin America. By leveraging technology to create viable economic opportunities for local communities, this initiative addresses the root causes of deforestation and promotes sustainable development.
We invite stakeholders, including governments, NGOs, and private sector partners, to join us in making this vision a reality and ensuring a sustainable future for tropical forests and their inhabitants.
