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).

Lenroy Forest Regeneration
Location: New South Wales
The project promotes the regeneration of native vegetation for the sequestration of carbon. The local environment has suffered from grazing and irrigation pressure, invasive species and erosion.
Carbon Conscious Carbon Capture Project 2
Location: Western Australia
Planting of native species mallee trees on land previously cleared for dryland cropping and grazing.
Joonderee and Elmina Regeneration Project
Location: Queensland
Abatement volume: 67,421
tonnes
This project establishes permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources (including rootstock and lignotubers) on land that was cleared of vegetation and where regrowth was suppressed for at least 10 years prior to the project having commenced.
