The Tambellup Noongar Farm Carbon Restoration Project is a best practice demonstration of how carbon farming can benefit the Aboriginal community in southwest Australia. With the ecological restoration of 130 hectares of degraded farmland located directly adjacent to the Gordon River, this project will deliver real outcomes for the conservation of biodiversity, the arresting of local salinity, the sequestration of atmospheric carbon, and the generation of employment opportunities for the local Aboriginal community. Through collaborative partnerships with like-minded individuals and organisations, the recipient will develop and share cultural and environmental knowledge with members of their community and beyond. The recipient and project partners see this as first step forward to getting their community back on country, and sharing time and stories on the land they will restore.
