Projects Supported
Wild Earth supports a wide variety of highly rated projects - See a selection below
Katingan Peatland Conservation
The ecologically significant tropical peatlands within the project area store approximately 20 times more carbon below ground than in above-ground vegetation, highlighting their important role as a carbon sink. The Katingan Mentaya REDD project finances the conservation of these peatlands by appropriately valuing the natural capital and the ecosystem services they provide, thus preventing significant volumes of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere.
BeZero, which provides a third-party carbon crediting rating system, gives this project a rating of A.

WA Environmental Planting & Reforestation
The project based in WA, has been designed to be planted in narrow belts and small blocks expressly for the purpose of carbon abatement.
The trees are thriving and contributing to environmentally regenerative outcomes in the surrounding landscape that continue to be farmed by the landholder.
Reforestation has occurred primarily on light sandy patches of land or along denuded stream banks.
As the plantings mature and forest canopy is regenerated, a range of potential biodiversity co-benefits is achieved.
With both the robust carbon removals and the potential to improve biodiversity outcomes in the project area, this reforestation initiative is a prime example of high-integrity nature-based climate change solutions.
This is an Australian Carbon Credit Unit Project certified at Australian Government Standards.

India Renewable Energy Transition
Across India, wind farms introduce clean energy to the grid which would otherwise be generated by coal-fired power stations. Wind power is clean in two ways: it produces no emissions and also avoids the local air pollutants associated with fossil fuels.
In constructing the turbines, new roads were built which improves accessibility for locals. The boost in local employment by people engaged as engineers, maintenance technicians, 24-hour on-site operators and security guards also boosts local economies and village services.

April Salumei Rainforest Conservation
The April Salumei REDD+ project is located in Papua New Guinea, a country which contains ~7% of the world’s biodiversity in less than 1% of the world’s total land area.
As a result of the project, 603,712ha of virgin tropical rainforest is being conserved against planned deforestation, preventing ~22.8 million tonnes of GHG emissions from being released into the atmosphere.
The project also protects vital habitat for many endangered species including the palm cockatoo, the bird of paradise and the southern crowned pigeon.

QLD/NSW Native Forest Regeneration
Located in Northern New South Wales & Southwest Queensland, this portfolio of “Human Induced Regeneration” (HIR) projects regenerate native vegetation by ending land clearing, managing grazing and controlling pest animals.These carbon farming projects work with landholders to regenerate and protect native vegetation.
The projects help improve marginal land, reduce salinity and erosion and provide income to farmers. Widespread land clearing has significantly impacted local ecosystems. This degradation and loss of plant species may threatens the food and habitat on which other native species rely.
This is an Australian Carbon Credit Unit Project certified at Australian Government Standards.

Tasmania New Leaf Carbon Project
The New Leaf Carbon Projects protects 12,000 hectares of Tasmanian forest from logging through carbon financing, aiming to sequester 380,875 tonnes of CO2 over 25 years while safeguarding endangered species like the Tasmanian devil and wedge-tailed eagle.
The project's permanence is secured through conservation covenants and forestry agreements, with regular monitoring ensuring forest cover remains stable and increasing, while providing economic benefits to the local community through carbon credit trading.
