Letters From People Who Have Visited Futuro Forestal

"I invested into FSC certified forestry with Futuro Forestal, because this is a smart way to combine ecological economical and social approaches in a stricken third world country. Especially the idea of reforesting in Panama as a profitable investment convinced me. I have been in Panama to see the project with my own eyes. I was impressed to see how professional the job is done there to benefit local people as well as the investor.

This concept as a whole approach was important to my decsion to invest and parts of my future retirement savings will be shifted into this opportunity"
