Judges'' comments

The basic idea is good, but there are no plans here for implementation. No budget is presented, probably because the proposers are not sure what they are going to do.

---

(1) It is a very complete list of items that are addressed in this presentation. It provides information about two options but does not give an estimate of them -- How much will emissions be reduced or sequestered vs. business as usual levels? What are the proposal’s costs?

(2) The project would be started in Southeast Asia due to the high population density, high proportion of rural agriculturalists, and the common practice of clearing land with fire. The project work will be conducted by local farmers, government leaders, environmentalists. To create its F2C2M micro-credit program it would seek support from government banks and also international monetary agencies such as World Bank.
