(Tropical) Hardwood Investments are tauted as being a near perfect green and socially responsible investment that'll make you (an incredible amount of) money while at the same time doing good for the world.

A revolutionary novel opportunity or wishful thinking?
This wiki, run by the two sons of one of the early adapters (and ecological innovators) in the tropical hardwood plantation market, is dedicated to helping potential investors sort through the sense and non-sense that is out there. &raquo; More about this wiki

Are there good timber investments?
We have to distinguish between "traditional" timber investments characterized by big forestry companies doing large scale projects and "novel" (tropical) hardwood investments characterized by new -often- small companies doing small scale projects and -often- offering unregulated investment products to small investors.

The latter category is build on 3 pillars:
 * 1) the incentive of “doing good”, the ethical incentive (green, sustainable and socially responsible);
 * 2) the incentive of “making money” as easily, as safely and as quickly as possible, the profitability incentive;
 * 3) solid knowledge about (tropical) forestry.

These pillars are not always equally solid, but they should be for your conscience and money to be safe. Read Risks, weaknesses and problems of (tropical) hardwood investments before considering to invest in this sector.

This wiki tries answering the question whether these "novel" investment products stand a change if compared to traditional forestry investment opportunities.
