Greening Australia is planting 430,000 biodiverse, native and locally appropriate trees for Mastercard’s Priceless Planet Coalition. Planting is rolling out in New South Wales and Victoria across the 2021 and 2022 planting seasons, through our Great Southern Landscapes and Nature in Cities programs. This partnership will help to meet our impact goals for 2030 and bring vulnerable Australian landscapes back to life, particularly those plants and animals that are vulnerable to bushfire impacts.
Supported by Conservation International, the global delivery partner for the Priceless Planet Coalition, Greening Australia is planting in the following areas to restore landscapes.

Nature in Cities
The Priceless Planet Coalition aims to restore 100 million trees across the globe by 2025, recognising – as we do – that restoring forests is a simple yet powerful way of capturing carbon dioxide and mitigating climate change, as well as delivering a range of other social and environmental benefits.
