Carbon credits

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's Indigenous Forestry Unit administers the Permanent Forest Sink Initiative.

QEII National Trust is not involved.

Details

The Permanent Forest Sink Initiative (PFSI) provides an opportunity for landowners to establish permanent forest sinks and obtain tradable Kyoto Protocol compliant emission units in proportion to the carbon sequestered in their forests.

To be eligible for this initiative, the land must not have been covered in forest as at 31 December 1989 and the forest must be "direct human induced .... through planting, seeding and/or the human-induced promotion of natural seed sources." This means some form of active management will be required in establishing the forest.
