ABC Radio National – Big Ideas: Climate Crisis – Saving landscapes?
Listen here to GreenCollar’s CEO, James Schultz, discuss crediting initiatives, the future of climate, degraded landscapes and the Great Barrier Reef on ABC’s Big Ideas Program.
Western New South Wales Cattle farmers Mike and Lucy Rosser have been actively involved with GreenCollar since 2015 and have just become the first land managers globally to generate NaturePlus™ Credits,

Environmental markets are not dissimilar to farming or commodity markets. The difference being, instead of food or fibre production, environmental markets measure and place a value on and trade in cleaner air, water or improved habitat and biodiversity.
Being paid to implement best practice land management and deliver cleaner water to the Reef, without negatively impacting productivity may seem too good to be true.
