The Department of Business Development and BAAC in Thailand are implementing a 'trees as capital' approach, enabling farmers to use standing trees as collateral for loans. Currently, 239,921 trees have been registered in 30 provinces, valued over 188 million baht.

A training session in Nan Province educated farmers on leveraging trees for credit applications and carbon credits. The initiative aims to enhance funding access without deforestation, promoting sustainable economic growth and environmental goals.
