Manomet Center for Conservation Science, an American independent environmental research organization, is similar to a scorecard, a checklist can serve as any investor has made a final project before the question of forestry investment decision to address the need to give a starting point. Scorecard 43 yes / no questions, which examined eight common components of forestry offset projects are:

Contract structure (ownership, compliance with local laws, the length of the project)
Baselines (qualitative and quantitative calculation details)
Extras (to prevent the new emission reductions from existing ones or new emissions elsewhere to compensate)

Monitoring, measurement, reporting and verification (for the monitoring / measurement of carrying capacity, a third party to regularly review and verify the accuracy)
Sustainability (carbon risk and risk management strategy of the project)

Leakage (due to a project GHG emissions elsewhere)
Transparency (project and validation report publicly available records)
Co-benefits/costs (positive environmental, social and economic consequences of the project produces offsets)

All data collection and forestry not only asking the right questions before investing a good return of investment, but also ensures stability and durability for investment.that.
