International Wood Corporation offers a $50M timberland and carbon investment fund anchored by 18,001 hectares of SEC-documented, Brazilian government-certified virgin Amazon rainforest in Pará, Brazil — with a mathematically supported fair market value of $5.297 billion and dual revenue from tropical hardwood exports and Verra VCS carbon credits.
Brazil's Amazon basin contains the most commercially valuable tropical hardwood species on earth — Ipê, Cumaru, Jatoba, Mahogany, Angelim — commanding FOB prices of $1,750–$3,800/m³. South American timberland investments consistently generate IRRs exceeding 12%. The World Bank projects global wood demand to quadruple by 2050.
World Bank projects 4× wood demand by 2050. Legal hardwood supply tightening as enforcement increases globally.
Brazil IRRs exceed 12% — among the highest globally. Biological growth compounds independently of financial markets.
Amazon REDD+ adds $96–$300/ha annually in carbon revenue on top of timber income — unique to tropical forests.
Near-zero correlation to equities or bonds — ideal portfolio diversifier for institutions and family offices.
Hardwood timber up 14%/year compounded since 1991 — outpacing CPI by nearly 10% annually. Biological growth is unstoppable.
China's luxury hardwood market: $87B, growing 15.3%/yr. India urbanising rapidly. Brazil's Atlantic coast proximity is a structural advantage.
IWC's Pará property supports two simultaneous transaction structures. Asking price: $125,000,000.

No appraiser opinion. No projection. Two SEC-certified, independently audited facts — and mathematics.
Purchased 1991 by Norwest S.A. Primary audit: Cooper Auditors (now PricewaterhouseCoopers), Brazil. Secondary certification 2008: Holyfield & Thomas CPA, West Palm Beach — on-site Pará inspection. SEC-approved. Recorded on IWC 8-K & 10-K.
Documented historical tropical hardwood appreciation rate — sustained through recessions, financial crises, and global downturns. Publicly verifiable through FSC data, ITTO reports, and international hardwood price indices. Not a forecast — a documented historical fact.
$54M × (1.14)³⁵ = $5,297,400,000. Timber compound value only — excludes Verra carbon project, biodiversity value, mineral rights, and grouped project expansion. Asking price of $125M = 2.4% of supported FMV.
Verra VCS is CCP-eligible in 2026 — the benchmark standard demanded by institutional buyers for CSRD compliance.
International Wood Corporation holds grandfather project status under Verra VCS — one of the most strategically valuable positions in the global carbon market. As a grandfather holder, IWC can add new parcels without waiting periods or additional registration fees.
The property was certified as virgin rainforest by the Brazilian Division of Forestry (federal government) in both 2008 and 2015 — a government agency classification, not a private appraisal. This is the strongest possible classification for a REDD+ carbon project.
Verra finalized Pará state jurisdictional risk maps for the VM0048 methodology in June 2025, fully operationalizing IWC's re-registration pathway. VM0048 projects carrying the ICVCM Core Carbon Principles label are the standard institutional corporate buyers require for CSRD compliance.
Corporate demand for high-integrity nature-based carbon credits is structural: 95 million voluntary credits were retired in H1 2025 alone. The California Cap-and-Invest program has been extended through 2045.
