Working with Traditional Owner communities on nature-based solutions
GreenCollar acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land and waters on which we live and work. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge, respect and strive to honour the deep spiritual attachment and the relationship that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to Country.
Changing the way Country is managed to generate positive social, cultural, economic, and environmental outcomes
When Country is well looked after it delivers multiple benefits to local communities and all who have a stake in it. That’s why GreenCollar works in partnership with Traditional Owners and other land managers to place a value on natural assets and restore healthy Country by generating income from land management practices that store carbon, improve biodiversity and water quality, or remove plastics from the environment.
We value transparency, aiming to work in partnership with Traditional Owners to design projects that deliver good economic and environmental outcomes while protecting cultural assets and traditional knowledge.
We are committed to the highest standards of free, prior and informed consent, and have a dedicated Traditional Owner Engagement team who work closely with Traditional Owners to facilitate knowledge exchange and understand how our projects can best align with aspirations for Country.

What is carbon farming?
Carbon farming means managing the land in a way that allows carbon to be stored in healthy bush and Country.
Running a carbon project involves committing to manage Country a certain way to avoid the emissions released by hot dry season wildfires or allowing bush to regenerate and come back to health. Carbon credits are earned for the carbon emission that are avoided or for the carbon stored in healthy Country. Credits can be sold to generate income and money reinvested to look after Country and Communities.

More than just carbon
GreenCollar is leading the development of emerging ways to value all natural assets and deliver benefits to all those with a stake in the health of our environment.
NaturePlus™ is a world-first biodiversity credit scheme that delivers measured and validated habitat or species restoration or conservation. It is designed to stop and reverse native habitat and species loss to achieve positive outcomes for nature.
Reef Credits are unlocking new funding to address the issue of poor water quality at the Great Barrier Reef by rewarding farmers for preventing the flow of nutrients and sediment into waterways within the Great Barrier Reef catchment.
Plastic Credits are helping to address the global problem of plastic pollution, starting with a pilot project addressing the removal of single use banana bunch bags from the environment in Far North Queensland.
