Thailand Biodiversity Credit Pricing: USD 20-65 per Credit by 2027
USD 20-65/credit (BCRC reference 2026-2027)
The Bangkok Biodiversity Credit Reference Centre (BCRC) launched by the Biodiversity Credit Alliance in October 2025 sets a methodological framework for biodiversity-credit pricing across tiger habitat (Khao Sok, Western Forest Complex), gibbon habitat (Khao Yai), hornbill habitat (Budo-Su-ngai Padi) and reef habitat (Mu Ko Similan, Surin) at USD 20-65 per credit. Pricing is tied to species rarity weighted against IUCN Red List status, habitat scarcity, and verification cost. The market is expected to reach USD 80-160 million in transacted value across Southeast Asia by end-2027, with Thailand capturing roughly 25-35 percent given the scale of protected-area coverage and DNP institutional capacity.
