海南森林变身“绿色提款机”

Core Viewpoint - Hainan province is actively developing forestry carbon sink products, transforming its forests into valuable carbon trading assets, thereby promoting ecological and economic benefits [1][2]. Group 1: Carbon Sink Development - The red mangrove forest in Hainan's Lingao County can generate 3,236.05 tons of carbon sinks over seven years, with a market price of 100 yuan per ton [2]. - As of now, Lingao County has approximately 17,800 tons of tradable carbon sinks, with over 7,100 tons already traded [2]. - The "Forestry Carbon Sink Benefit Farmers Comprehensive Service" project has established a carbon sink network covering 15 village collectives and about 26,000 people, involving approximately 5,174 acres of red mangrove [2][3]. Group 2: Methodology and Research - Hainan's forestry department is conducting baseline surveys and dynamic monitoring of forestry carbon sinks, aiming to explore mechanisms for realizing the value of ecological products [3]. - The provincial forestry research institute is developing carbon sink methodologies tailored to tropical forests, which will quantify the carbon reduction effects of various forestry models [3]. Group 3: Carbon Sink Products and Applications - Hainan has launched its first national park carbon sink product, focusing on the carbon sequestration potential of the tropical rainforest restoration project in the Dingluo Mountain area, generating over 620,000 yuan in trading revenue [3]. - Carbon sink products are available for societal purchase, applicable for carbon neutrality in events, judicial ecological restoration, and more [4]. - The forestry carbon sink has supported over 20 judicial executions, with a total judicial purchase amount exceeding 650,000 yuan [4].
