Aboriginal Participation in Carbon Management
We are committed to creating pathways for Aboriginal people, communities, and organisations to actively engage in carbon management across Australia, with a specific emphasis on Western Australia. Our mission is to empower Aboriginal landholders, traditional owners, and Aboriginal organisations to engage effectively in carbon farming, land restoration, and related environmental initiatives, all while preserving cultural heritage and amplifying your voices.

Why Carbon Management?
Climate change poses one of the most significant threats to our planet today, and Aboriginal people play a crucial role in managing and caring for the land. By actively participating in carbon management, Aboriginal communities can make a substantial contribution to environmental sustainability while also unlocking economic opportunities through carbon credits and sustainable land practices.
