ECOF HUGE NEWS UNDEVALUED

Press Release Source: ECO2 Forests Inc. On Thursday December 9, 2010, 8:00 am EST
BOULDER, CO and QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - 12/09/10) - ECO2 Forests Inc. (Pinksheets:ECOF - News), a sustainable forestry company, has entered into an Agreement for the establishment of joint venture projects in Europe.

In conjunction with ECO PLUS Limited, ECO2 Forests plans to commence projects in Europe. Initially targeting projects in Turkey, the Joint Venture is planned to be expanded to include Bulgaria.

The two companies signed the Agreement to develop the mutually beneficial project that will create a significant amount of local full-time jobs as well as the injection of millions of dollars into the local economy.

Initially, the goal is to establish the first of the European projects with a 1,200 acre forest in the vicinity of Izmir, Turkey.

Under the agreement ECO2 Forests will be responsible for all aspects of managing and control of the Plantation which is forecast to involve the planting of 268,800 Kiri Trees to produce 537,600 carbon credits and 113,000 tons of lumber every seven year cycle. The Kiri Tree naturally regrows after each harvest to create a truly sustainable forest and decreases the need to log existing old growth forests. The initial part of the project is forecast to deliver returns of an estimated US$120 million in each seven year cycle.

"ECO2 Forests has been working extremely hard this year to establish a network of forests around the globe under our Global Forestry Plan. Strategically we had targeted the Izmir region in Turkey as our research indicated the land was suitable for our Kiri Tree forests. We look forward to working with ECO PLUS to initiate the first module in the project and secure more projects in the region," ECO2 Forests CEO Ray Smith said today.

ECO Plus will be responsible for sourcing all land for the projects and jointly with ECO2 Forests intends to source suitable project financing through direct project investment.

In accordance with the ECO2 Forests' E4 Philosophy, ECO2 Forests and ECO PLUS both have agreed to work collaboratively to develop and implement projects that provide a positive outcome for the environment, improve the well-being and circumstances of stakeholders in the local community and host country as well as enter into joint venture agreements that are deemed mutually beneficial for the delivery of programs and projects.

"ECO PLUS became aware of ECO2 Forests and their Global Forestry Plan many months ago and we were very excited to find a company that was capable of creating this type of sustainable project in our region of the world. We have been in regular communication from that point and it is a significant milestone to sign this agreement. We must plant as many trees as possible and we all need more people in the world involved in the fight against climate change," ECO PLUS Director Michael Ginchin said.
