The Carbon Neutral group has planted over 29+ million trees and leads Australia’s largest revegetation project based on carbon capture and biodiversity - The Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor.
About the Project
Carbon Neutral specialises in biodiverse reforestation plantings and carbon sinks and leads Australia’s largest revegetation project based on carbon capture and biodiversity - The Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor.
Carbon Neutral specialises in biodiverse conservation plantings using trees and shrubs that are native to the region. The trees bring many valuable benefits to the environment including sequester carbon, help reduce soil salinity, help combat wind and water erosion, enhance biodiversity, and restore habitat for native animals.
The Issue
The Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor is located in Southwest Australia and in the early 1900s about 90% of the northern Wheatbelt was cleared for agriculture removing most of the native habitat. It has been identified by Conservation International (a world authority on biodiversity conservation) as one of only 35 globally significant Hotspots. These 'Hotspots' account for 90% of all species on earth, are known to hold especially high numbers of species found nowhere else and have already lost at least 70% of their primary, native vegetation
The Solution
We have partnered with Carbon Neutral to support the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor’s Plant-a-tree program. By planting trees and shrubs at selected key sites with Carbon Neutral, we help to reconnect the drier inland habitats with their coastal counterparts to protect and recover our endangered and declining woodland, and shrubland fauna.
Carbon Neutral have a vision to reconnect these valuable remnant vegetation sites and link 12 nature reserves across a vast tract of land covering approximately 10,000 square kilometres. By planting trees and shrubs at selected key sites, particularly on non-productive farmland. This will help establish habitat stepping stones and links for biodiversity to move and disperse back through the landscape. By reconnecting drier inland habitats with their coastal counterparts, the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor will help protect and recover our endangered and declining woodland, and shrubland fauna such as Malleefowl, Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo, Crested Bellbird, Western Yellow Robin and Western Spiny-tailed Skink.
