Combatting Mass Clear-Cutting in Congo
Congo badly needs money, so they have a huge incentive to sell their valuable (and renewable with right handling) wood form rain forests.<p>The rest of the world badly needs the rain forests to remain, for climate and oxygen production reasons. It would be reasonable if they rest of the world bought the desired outcome from Congo, by paying for <i>not</i> cutting the trees. They (we) would have to pay to Congolese people a competitive price for each tree saved from cutting.<p>If we wanted to know what an environment policy might cost, that would be a good example.
