Iwokrama, Canopy Capital forest deal collapses

Iwokrama is no longer receiving money from the British Investment group Canopy Capital after their ecosystem services agreement collapsed.

The United Kingdom-based Canopy Capital signed a ground-breaking agreement in March 2008 with the Iwokrama International Centre (IIC) to purchase the rights to environmental services generated by Iwokrama’s 371,000-hectare rainforest reserve.
