Organizations designed to help solve an issue or improve something have been around forever. If there is some kind of injustice, or something bad is happening, then enough people will usually notice and form an organization to counter it. There are thousands of organizations dedicated to good causes, and without them the world would be a much more unpleasant place. An example would be Silva Tree, which is an environmental organization. Silva Tree is an excellent organization that I came across a few weeks ago – they offer a number of investments related to the environment that are extremely beneficial. Their investments are fantastic for people that have an environmental conscience, and are thinking about investments that offer steady annual returns.

Of all Silva Tree’s investments, the one that has really taken off is their Princess Project. The Princess Project (open since 2009) offers a fantastic RIO of 15% per annum, and is basically a timber plantation. This is very impressive for an investment of this type. Not only does the Princess Project offer steady returns, but it gives a lot of benefits to surrounding communities and the environment. One other advantage of the Princess Project is that they pay returns every five years (many other investments do are not this frequent).

It is easy to apply for the Princess Project, and if you are interested, it is better to do it sooner rather than later. But there are a number of causes that Silva Tree is dedicated to that you will support when you invest with them, and they always abide by all laws and standards. One nice thing they did lately was helped the small Escuela Cano Zapota school, which needed some serious repair work. They also work with local governments in all of their projects.

Another really good investment offered by Silva Tree was the Carbon Offset Forestry Project. Unfortunately this sold out in July 2009, so you won’t be able to take part in it now, but it did very while it was offered. This investment basically worked by buying large areas of rainforest from private sellers, in order to conserve and protect it. This sort of reminded me of when I booked a Qantas flight a while ago, and you could pay a tiny bit extra for them to plant a tree that would absorb some of the flight emissions. Rainforests and trees absorb CO2, which helps to offset global warming – but they also have an additional benefit of providing habitat.

On top of their Princess and Carbon Offset Forestry Projects, there are a number of other worthwhile and upcoming investments that Silva Tree offers. An investment of Silva Tree’s that really got me interested was their Bio-Fuel project. It is anticipated that bio-fuel will be useful for all kinds of things, and research is being conducting on it all the time. Already it’s been shown that bio-fuel can do things like power vehicles and heat homes.

Silva Tree has been able to become a success mainly because they have some very good directors on board. There are 3 main directors that oversee the development of Silva Tree, which includes Keren Katz, Patrick Visser and Maurice Sjerps. The most important thing in an organization dedicated to some kind of worthy cause is that everyone there believes in what they are doing.
