Carbon removal

Carbon removal through reforestation in Australia

Tree planting initiatives in Australia are integral to addressing environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and climate change. These efforts aim to restore native ecosystems, sequester carbon dioxide, and enhance the resilience of landscapes affected by deforestation and agricultural practices. By planting a variety of indigenous trees and shrubs, this draws carbon from the atmosphere and helps repair the landscape after decades of environmental damage and habitat loss. These plantings create vital habitat and natural corridors for native wildlife to return and move through the area.

How do we rate this project?

Ensure access to water and sanitation for all.

Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all.

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. The restoration of ecosystems increases climate resilience, buffering landscapes against droughts, temperature extremes, and biodiversity loss.

Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss. The Yarra Yarra Corridor restores degraded ecosystems by planting native species and reconnecting fragmented habitats. It helps combat desertification, deforestation, and habitat loss, which are critical challenges in the region. The project protects and enhances biodiversity, allowing native flora and fauna — some of which are threatened — to recover and thrive.
