The Padezaka forest in South Choiseul has received approval to join the global carbon market, opening the prospect of income for 4,000 landowners.
For the Padezaka people, keeping the forest standing represents more than participation in a carbon-credit scheme. The forest provides clean rivers and shaded streams, while its old-growth trees offer refuge for animals.
The decision also carries a generational promise. Protecting the forest is tied to hopes for a future that children in the community can believe in.
