I would try to talk to people at EAG or EAGx and ask for total honesty. I would say that most people might think it’s low impact.
I gave it about 15 minutes to come up with some reasons why people might be reluctant to support you: in general EAs don’t focus that much on climate change. Out of all the things that you can do for climate change, planting trees doesn’t seem to be the most effective thing to do. You can read about it here. Also, there is a bunch of organizations already doing that (and they also roughly plant 1 tree per dollar).
I’ve made a post outlining what we are trying to make differently in comparison to existing planting initiatives. Also ecosystem restoration is deemed to be one of the most effective way for carbon recapture, and as soon as we confirm with our partners the minimum 40-year guarantee, we’ll also get below 10 USD per ton. Plus each hectare will provide hundreds of dollars worth of other ecosystem services, as we won’t be creating industrial plantations but aiming for more natural forests. We just need a little push to jumpstart field operations.
I really like the website. It has nice design.
