Love the Rainforest Trust mission. My understanding is that you buy land in coordination with local partners to prevent development. How do you deal with certain risks with that strategy, namely:
- despite legal land ownership, a government might use "eminent domain" to claim land for development that is supposed to be protected
- a local partner may change their mind in the future and sell the land
- despite being owned for conservation, illegal hunting or timber harvesting occurs?
