Southwell Station Savanna Burning Project
Tropical savannas across northern Australia are some of the most intact and biodiverse landscapes in Australia, encompassing areas of significant global biodiversity. Within its 145,570 hectares, Southwell Station holds 32 hectares of threatened regional ecosystems – home to one Federally listed and two State listed threatened fauna species, and one State listed threatened flora species.

Maureenjoy Human-Induced Regeneration Project
Situated north-west of Bourke, New South Wales, Maureenjoy is home to a successful family-run cattle grazing business. As is characteristic of the Mulga Lands Bioregion, the land at Maureenjoy consists of undulating soft red loamy soils and stony Mulga ridges. When the current landholders took over in 2008, it was overrun with feral goats, placing significant grazing pressure on the native vegetation and suppressing its growth.

Craig and Ruth Wagner along with their son Bryan, previously relied on an historic clearing cycle to manage their cattle grazing and timber harvesting operation at Ivanhoe but by choosing to step away from this cycle and allow native vegetation to regenerate under a carbon project, the Wagners are finding a balance between agricultural production and ecosystem services that benefits both the land and their livelihoods.
