Mixed species indigenous to the region are grown on degraded land in the northern wheatbelt of Southwest Australia. Revegetating the landscape with native trees and shrubs encourages wildlife to return while at the same time removing carbon from the atmosphere.

The Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor is a multi-species native reforestation project located in Southwest Australia – one of only 35 internationally recognised global biodiversity hotspots. These are regions that have an exceptionally high number of plant and animal species that don’t occur anywhere else and account for 90% of all species on Earth.
The project is established on degraded, semi-arid agricultural land that no longer supported viable farming practices. More than 50 native tree and shrub species endemic to the region are planted and are protected with 100 year carbon rights and carbon covenants registered on the land titles.
This project not only has a positive impact on climate change but also makes a meaningful contribution to a number of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Yimba Biodiversity Project stands as a recent addition to Carbon Neutral Pty Ltd's portfolio within the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor. Once teeming with expansive York and Salmon gum woodlands, this corridor in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia has seen over 90% of its vegetation cleared since the early 1900s for agricultural purposes.
CSP: CO2 Australia Limited
Location: Queensland
The project is on land that was predominantly used for agricultural purposes for at five years prior to the project’s commencement. Tree species in the project are native to the area, and established in a permanent planting.

The AWC conducts burning early in the dry season to reduce the risk of late season wildfires which can burn out of control and destroy large areas of cover for small mammals.
