Data,/**//*and Some Other Good Things

*BUT FIRST, WON'T YOU PLEASE HELP? Question about Biodiversity 
Certification - *John Alexander Pulgarín D asks, /"Does anyone knows a 
certification for biodiversity recovery as those proposed for CO2 
deposits and FSC? I would like to certify some areas for biodiversity 
recovery, soil recovery, erosion control, CO2 capture, ecological niche 
maintenance for fauna, and other forest ambient services."/ If you can 
assist, please contact John at jalexanderpulgarin at gmail.com
