Land Restoration

Efficient, high-quality land restoration and management is critical for conservation projects, biodiversity offset sites and carbon projects to meet project outcomes and achieve long-term nature positive impacts.

Restoration activities can include tree planting to establish new habitat, rehabilitation and regeneration to restore native ecosystems, or ongoing management activities to keep land healthy and meet compliance objectives.
