Native forests grown using the Miyawaki method: can be planted in a space as small as 3m2; mature up to 10 times faster than with traditional reforestation methods; need no maintenance within 2 to 3 years; have biodiversity levels up to 18 times greater than traditional planting methods.
Western Australia is home to some of the most biodiverse biospheres in the world. This beautiful state was largely uninterrupted for 270 million years, allowing time for a diverse range of flora and fauna to evolve, many of which are endemic to this corner of the world. Today Western Australia has one of the worst deforestation rates in the world, and the Wheatbelt of WA is one of Australia’s most degraded land areas.
We have been keenly awaiting the Chubb review of the Australian carbon market credits scheme, administered by the Emissions Reduction Fund, and finally, we have it. The review findings conclude that the scheme does not lack integrity whilst making recommendations to improve its integrity and transparency.
The United Nations COP15 Biodiversity Summit has delivered some key takeaways and it’s something to celebrate. So what are the main points of agreement?
“On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…”
You might be familiar with the holiday song “The 12 Days of Christmas,” but we are putting a spin on the old classic here at Carbon Positive Australia with the “12 Species of Christmas.”
We think these 12 native species sum up the holiday season for various reasons.
Christmas is a busy time when Australians travel, eat and drink more than usual.
But don’t worry, we can all reduce the impact of the holiday season on the environment and have a happy, sustainable holiday! Here are our top 15 tips to having a sustainable Christmas.
We were lucky to have two UN climate scientists, Dr. Bill Hare and Dr. Peter Newman, in WA last week, sharing their insights from COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, at an event hosted by WA Climate Leaders. Here are the 5 key takeaways you may want to consider in your climate action plan.
Australia is one of the 17 megadiverse countries, which means our species are unique and found nowhere else on this Earth. Yet the five-year ‘State of the Environment’ report released in July laid bare that our natural environment is deteriorating due to increasing pressure from climate change, habitat destruction, invasive species, pollution, and resource extraction.
Achieving a Nature Positive world involves halting and reversing current trends of ecological destruction that affect biodiversity. Preserving our flora and fauna plays a significant role in combatting climate change. A loss of one species, whether plant or animal, can significantly impact other species, including us as humans, and have devastating impacts to our environment.
In 2014, we assisted Kaarakin Conservation Centre in planting 38 hectares of the Banyowla Regional Park with native species known to be essential to the feeding, breeding, and roosting cycles of three endangered cockatoo species. We might be experts in biodiverse plantings, but we are not orinthologists, so we met with Sam Clarke, Animal Management & Education Officer, to discuss all things cockatoos.
