Rainforest trees to expand habitat
Fruit, medicinal & spice trees for sustainable harvesting, forest buffers, income for local people & reductions in animal x human conflict
Maintained by our team until self-sufficient at
fighting weed competition
Permanent on-site presence
Local reforestation workers live on site & ensure constant monitoring & maintenance
Protection

Preventing illegal activities
Written agreement with landholders stating that the permanent use of the land be conservation
High environmental value vegetation is protected by local council development controls
May be protected under EBPC Act if plantings have stature and quality reflective of the Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia ecosystem
Funding of forest patrols that apprehend illegal loggers and poachers within range of our planting sites
Reporting of illegal activities to local authorities
Planting within National Park boundaries
where possible
Impact
Restoring critically-endangered rainforest
%20(2).png){kind=small}
Expanding essential habitat
Regeneration of cleared land to bring back the
Big Scrub rainforest of which < 1% remains
Supporting threatened flora & fauna species,
e.g. Platypus, Birdwing Butterfly, Small-leaved Tamarind
Helping to prevent the extinction of irreplaceable wildlife, e.g. Sumatran Tiger, Elephant, Rhino, Orangutan
Providing alternative sources of income to the
palm oil & logging industry
Carbon

Permanent high carbon storage
Major global carbon storage
Plantings have high diversity and stratified layers, making them ideal for carbon sequestration
Costs are generally covered by landholders
Est. carbon storage of 750t of CO2 per hectare
Indonesian tropical rainforests play a vital role in regulating global climate
Rainforest & peat swamps together store more CO2 per unit area than any other ecosystem
