Forestry investments are attracting growing interest as the traditional attractions of timberland as an asset class are boosted by new revenue sources. These include soaring biomass demand and emerging markets for carbon credits and ecosystem services.

In response, many new forest funds are emerging, global public-private partnerships are increasing, and power companies are increasingly competing with the pulp & paper sector.
