New Zealand state farming enterprise Pamu is converting 600 hectares of farmland into native forests to generate nature credits. This move follows a government initiative to support voluntary nature markets, providing an alternative to the fast growing pine forests favored by the national Emissions Trading Scheme. By partnering with True Nature, Pamu aims to monetize marginal or unproductive land through reforestation. These projects will follow international standards to attract domestic and global buyers looking for high integrity offsets that prioritize ecosystem restoration over simple carbon sequestration.
