At Greening Australia, we don’t just plant trees, we rebuild ecosystem services. By restoring landscapes, we increase biodiversity, improve water quality, sequester carbon, and support local communities and economies.
To maximise our impact, we collaborate with First Nations Peoples, landholders, philanthropists, businesses, governments, universities and communities to make change happen on-ground.
We continually seek to improve and refine our methods, tools, and data to ensure our work meets the highest standards and delivers the best possible outcomes for both people and nature.
From utilising machine learning to analyse data captured via satellites and drones, to trialling planting designs and treatments that will help our plantings thrive in challenging environments and future climate scenarios – we are building on our decades of practical expertise to explore innovative, scaleable approaches to restoration.
Our ambitious goals align our work with global targets for climate action, land restoration and biodiversity.
Greening Australia is a proud member of the Restoration Decade Alliance, a consortium of Australasian environmental restoration organisations supporting the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030). To tackle the twin environmental crises of climate change and species loss, we are working to prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems in line with the mission of the UN Decade.
We have identified four priorities for delivering impactful, end-to-end nature-based solutions.
Applying best practice science and innovation to ensure our large-scale restoration programs are resilient to climate impacts and deliver quality outcomes for people and nature, such as improved habitat, water quality and carbon storage.
Expanding our mutually beneficial collaborations with landholders to integrate plantings into degraded hectares. We have established infrastructure to better connect with and tailor solutions for interested landholders.
With predicted demand outstripping supply, the availability of quality, diverse native seed is critical for our efforts. We are working to expand our own seed capabilities and also those of the native seed sector more broadly.
Delivering projects that enable the flow of capital into nature-based solutions to bring returns to communities, economies and nature.
