Projects We Support
Restore The Land
Greening Australia aims to restore 330,000 hectares of native trees across Australia by 2030. Drawing on the expert input of Traditional Owners, scientists and local land managers, we will plant 500 million trees and shrubs to store carbon, create quality habitat for native wildlife, and restore degraded farmland. These 500 million trees and shrubs will absorb over 1.3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year by 2030, and reduce atmospheric carbon pollution.
This is one of the world’s largest and most ambitious ecological restoration programs.
IMPACT:
$50 plants enough trees & shrubs to store 1 tonne of carbon dioxide
Clean The Sea
Over 160 million tons of plastic is produced each year to create single-use disposable items and packaging.
With no established system to close the loop, this has led to over 70 years of accumulation of plastics in landfill (40%) and the environment (32%), with only 10% being recycled.
Plastics end up in waterways and oceans, breaking down into ever smaller pieces called micro-plastics, well known for entering the food chain through the water, air and food that we consume.
Seabin Smart Tech, similar to a rubbish bin X pool skimmer, removes floating plastics as small as 2mm, filtering 600,000L of water per day from oil and surface pollutants.
IMPACT:
$1 removes 1.2kg of plastic and debris from the sea.
Rewild Australia
Australia is a land of diverse and stunning ecosystems, and home to many unique plants and wildlife. Australia also has the highest mammal extinction rate in the world and is experiencing significant declines of many species.
Using science and Indigenous Ecological Knowledge, WWF is rewilding Australia by returning locally-extinct species.
Animals like quolls and devils help regulate ecosystems, while bandicoots, potoroos and bettongs are ecosystem engineers - turning over soil, burying leaf litter and supporting seed germination that helps to Regenerate Australia.
WWF is committed to reversing the decline of Australia’s wildlife and helping restore biodiversity.
IMPACT:
$50 helps reintroduce a lost species.
Past Projects:
Support Bushfire Recovery
Foodbank is playing a crucial role in the current unprecedented bushfire crisis which is devastating communities across the country.
As a trusted organization, forming part of the official emergency response, Foodbank is acting as a conduit for the generosity of the food and grocery sector, and the general public who are keen to assist with essential supplies.
Foodbank is delivering exactly what is needed, to efficiently and effectively support the relief efforts.
IMPACT:
In 6 months, Earths Tribe Australia provided 840 meals across Australia.
