A 40-year Amazon forestry heritage — ready for its next builder.
The trust that holds these properties is inviting a successor operator, acquirer, or capital partner to take the helm and rebuild the group one project at a time. We begin with the first project already underway: IWC Timber — building a Roger Dickie of Brazil on a documented Amazon hardwood and carbon asset.
The principal is transitioning. The asset base is ready. It needs an operator to run with it.
Grupo Dynamo was one of the Legal Amazon's diversified forestry and land groups — roughly $30M/year in profits at its height. Its assets were consolidated under family trust. Today the senior principal who controls the trust is stepping back and seeking a successor to lead the group in a new direction: forestry, carbon, and sustainable land. This is not a securities offering. It is an invitation to take over a real, asset-backed platform — through capitalization, acquisition, merger, or joint venture.
Buy-in & lead
Come in as principal with capitalization and spearhead the group's next chapter.
Fund partner
A fund capitalizes the platform and its project pipeline.
Acquire for stock
A company acquires the asset base in a stock transaction or merger.
Co-venture
Joint venture on IWC and successive projects, sharing capital and upside.
Acquire & donate
Acquire and donate to a qualified nonprofit; take the charitable write-off at appraised value.
Also open to: asset enhancement for an existing operating company, or acquisition of / reverse-merger into a REIT. A Roger Dickie-style investor syndicate can be developed later, once an operating partner is in place.
A group that operated at scale across the Amazon.
The map above is the real thing: roughly two dozen operating companies spanning timber exploitation and milling, agriculture and cattle, inland and fluvial transport, trading, import/export, and more — across five Brazilian states. After a dispute with a former principal (Elliott Sassoon), the EB Financial Trust consolidated the group. Some assets were sold; some were lost to back taxes; most of the projects still exist — and are the seed pipeline for a successor to rebuild.
Milling & export
Banakoba Ltda. and several madeireiras — exploitation, industrialization and trading of Amazon hardwoods.
Agro-pastoral
Agricultural and cattle operations across Pará and Rondônia — proven, profitable land use.
River & road
Inland and fluvial transport companies moving product to Belém and the deepwater coast.
Import / export
Trading and export houses (São Paulo & Belém) that placed product into international markets.
IWC Timber — building a Roger Dickie of Brazil.
The first project already spun out of the group: ~18,000 hectares of titled Amazon hardwood timberland in Pará, held through Norwest S.A. under International Wood Corporation (SEC CIK 824430) — repositioned as a sustainable forestry, carbon-sequestration, and reforestation platform. The model is proven in New Zealand; the asset base here is documented and audited.
*Agreements in the document record grant options over up to approximately 970,000 additional hectares (~2.4 million acres) of rainforest — the growth runway a successor would develop. Option documents available under NDA; each requires independent title confirmation before exercise.
Why this is the right first project
It is already structured (SEC-registered vehicle, titled subsidiary, audited cost, satellite timber assessment, Verra carbon pathway), it carries a $350M documented standing-timber inventory, and it comes with an option runway measured in the hundreds of thousands of hectares. A successor can generate revenue three ways — harvest, carbon, and land — while building the syndicated-investment platform on top. Harvesting is done through Pará's established contract logging operators; no company mill capital is required to begin.
$350M of standing inventory, harvested over 15 years.
The asset's value is the documented $350M standing-timber inventory (independent satellite assessment at current prices), on top of $52.0M audited US GAAP cost. The model below harvests that inventory on a 15-year select-cut rotation through contract loggers. The price-appreciation rail is an assumption the partner sets — the asset value is documented; the growth rate is not represented as fact.
| Harvest of standing inventory (15-yr select-cut) | Flat (conservative) | 10%/yr modeled* | 14%/yr modeled* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Documented standing inventory | $350M | $350M | $350M |
| Hardwood price-appreciation assumption* | 0% | 10%/yr | 14%/yr |
| 15-year gross harvest revenue | ~$350M | ~$815M | ~$1,166M |
| Less contract harvest, transport & infrastructure (~40–45%) | ($140–158M) | ($326–367M) | ($467–525M) |
| 15-year net timber income | ~$193–210M | ~$449–489M | ~$641–700M |
| + Carbon (REDD+/IFM, from Year 2) | +$6–11M/yr | +$6–11M/yr | +$6–11M/yr |
*The appreciation cases assume hardwood continues its long-run historical trend; they are investor-selectable assumptions, not guarantees or statements of fact. The flat case assumes no price appreciation and returns the documented inventory value net of contract-harvesting cost. Carbon reflects ~500,000 t/yr at $12–$22/t high-integrity voluntary pricing. Figures are management estimates; an updated independent appraisal is recommended before any transaction.
REDD+ & IFM, priced to the real market
Standing Amazon rainforest carries avoided-deforestation (REDD+) and improved-forest-management (IFM) potential. Legacy Verra filings (#1027) re-scope under the current VM0048 methodology (Pará risk maps finalized 2025). Voluntary high-integrity pricing $12–$23/t; base case ~$10M/yr at 500,000 t.
Banakoba mill — can be re-fitted
The family also controls Banakoba Ltda. — a 250,000 ft² mill on 11,000 ha at the mouth of the Amazon with three deepwater docks, idle for years and available to be re-fitted / revitalized by an operating partner. It is a related-party integration option, not required to begin, and would let a successor capture milled-export margin over time.
Rebuild the group, project by project.
IWC is Project 1 — proven, structured, revenue-ready. Behind it sits a pipeline drawn from the surviving Dynamo companies and the option runway: forestry, carbon, cattle, and land, each capable of becoming its own syndicated or JV project as the platform grows.

A confidential briefing package — heritage documentation, IWC title, audit and appraisal record, the option-lands schedule, the harvest and carbon model, and the five transaction structures — is available under NDA to qualified successor operators, acquirers, funds, strategic partners, and nonprofit-donation sponsors.
Important notices. This website is an informational summary describing a strategic-transition and partnership opportunity. It is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, nor an offer of a donation or tax outcome. Any transaction — capitalization, acquisition, merger, joint venture, or charitable donation — would be effected only through definitive documents and after independent due diligence and execution of a non-disclosure agreement.
The $52.0M figure is audited US GAAP historical cost (IWC FY2001 10-K/A, Holyfield & Thomas, LLC). The $350M standing-timber figure is drawn from an independent satellite assessment at then-current prices and is not a certified current appraisal; an updated independent appraisal is recommended before any transaction and any charitable-donation valuation must be supported by a qualified appraisal (IRS Form 8283 where applicable). Option-land figures (~970,000 ha) reflect agreements in the document record and require independent title confirmation before exercise. Price-appreciation figures are investor-selectable assumptions, not statements of historical fact or guarantees of future value; actual timber prices have fluctuated. Carbon revenue is prospective and requires completion of Verra VM0048 re-registration. The Banakoba mill is controlled by the founding family and is not an asset of International Wood Corporation. Brazilian title, environmental (CAR/IBAMA), and tax matters, and any charitable-deduction analysis, require confirmation by qualified counsel and advisors. Historical references to Grupo Dynamo describe the group's former operations and are provided for heritage context.
