4 Ways to Make Money in Land Restoration

This fact sheet from the World Resources Institute outlines four primary revenue streams for investors in land restoration: wood, non-wood forest products, crops and livestock, and tourism, while noting the emergence of markets for ecosystem services.

• There are four primary established revenue streams for land restoration: wood (timber for construction, pulp and paper, and fuelwood for energy), non-wood forest products (including fruits, cacao, nuts, animal feed, and essential oils), crops and livestock (via improved productivity and yields on restored agricultural land), and nature and wildlife tourism, which benefits the local economy.
