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).

North Burnett graziers Carly and Grant Burnham commenced a soil carbon project in 2016 in partnership with CarbonLink, covering over 5,275 hectares of their property.
Despite seasonal challenges of dry weather and fluctuating cattle prices, extensive testing and auditing of Bonnie Doone demonstrated the Burnhams’ adoption of new land management practices resulted in the equivalent of 126,222 tonnes of greenhouse gas emission being sequestered into their soils over the five-year reporting period.
In late 2023, the couple were awarded 94,666 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) by the national Clean Energy Regulator – the largest allocation for an individual soil carbon farming project in Australia to date.

This project sequesters carbon by converting an existing short rotation plantation forest to a long rotation plantation forest for commercial harvesting of wood products.

Jawoyn Rangers have been caring for country and incorporating customary values and culture with the latest in scientific practice since the late 1990s. Based in Katherine, the rangers manage 16,000 square kilometres of land.
