Large-Scale Terraformation Model (D)
This is our Multi-Oasis Array Desert-Reversal Supraterraformation and Land Reclamation Model where we turn large plots of land into lush paradisaical oases.
​
Land reclamation typically refers to the process of creating new land from oceans, riverbeds, or lakes. However, it can also refer to the process of restoring or improving land that has been degraded, such as desertified landscapes, and that is where Terraforma steps in.
​
Terraforma pioneers in the field of ecological restoration and superabundant rejuvenation. Through a blend of cutting-edge technology, scientific research, and sustainable practices, we rehabilitate degraded land and convert it into areas teeming with biodiversity. This endeavor not only contributes to a more sustainable planet but also enhances the economic potential of these regions. As we delve into the specifics, it's crucial to understand the factors that influence the financial benefits of this venture.
From a business perspective, perhaps the main value in doing this is the overall increase in land value. However, the increase in land value when converting a desert terrain into a lush tropical forest can vary greatly, depending largely on the specific location, the size of the land, the proximity to urban areas, and the potential uses for the newly reforested land.
For instance, if the prospect land is to be zoned for terraformation is near an urban area or popular tourist destination, its value could increase substantially due to the potential for ecotourism (such as botanical gardens) or park & leisure. On the other hand, if the land is remote with limited accessibility, the increase in value could be less pronounced.
Consider, for example, the value of desert land in a remote part of Nevada, USA, which could be as low as a few hundred dollars per acre. If that land were to become a lush tropical forest, potentially attracting tourism or facilitating the creation of a nature reserve, its value could easily increase to several thousand dollars per acre, if not more.
In terms of a percentage increase, it's difficult to provide a precise number without specific details, but it's reasonable to anticipate that the land value could increase by an order of magnitude by 20x to 30x—this is potentially feasible.
In addition to these traditional markets, desert reversal en masse, can also be used to create new markets, such as:
-
Carbon offsetting and sequestration: This involves capturing and storing carbon to offset greenhouse gas emissions, a service which is increasingly in demand as companies seek to meet sustainability goals.
-
Biodiversity banking: This involves creating and maintaining habitats for threatened species, a service which can be traded on emerging biodiversity markets.
-
Organic farming: Healthy, fertile soils resulting from terraformation could be suitable for exotic organic farming.
-
Agrotourism: This could generate a local agrotourism (/agritourism) industry, encouraging visitors to experience agricultural life first-hand by participating in various agricultural activities or to tour the verdant landscape, like in parks or botanical gardens. (Similar to models A, B, and C, only on a large scale.)
​
These burgeoning markets reflect the global shift towards sustainable development and provide ample opportunities for businesses and investors. The specific markets that will be most interested in desert reversal will depend on factors such as the location of the desert, the terraformation methods used, and the strategic vision for the newly transformed land. With our Supraterraformation initiative business model D, we not only create more habitable land but also contribute to large-scale environmental change with widespread beneficial effects on ecosystems and livelihoods.
