Biodiversity policy

Key features of our ecological restoration policy:

• Revegetation projects are Kyoto compliant: Land that was non-forest prior to the 1st of January 1990, and will have over 20% canopy cover.
• In contrast to single-species plantations, revegetation undertaken by Climate Positive on behalf of our clients aims to replicate the diverse native plant communities that formerly occupied the area being replanted.
• Climate Positive aims to restore ecologically diverse forest communities using locally occurring tree and shrub species.
• Only local provenance indigenous species will be used in revegetation, grown from seed collected close to the area to be planted.
• When planning revegetation, Climate Positive will consider how best to restore the habitat requirements of local native fauna and to link areas of existing native vegetation.
• No poison baits will be used to control grazing by native herbivores.
  Aboriginal cultural heritage values will be protected in consultation with traditional custodians.
• Climate Positive will minimise herbicide use during the establishment and maintenance of revegetated areas.
• Our staff are protected with quality occupational health and safety practices.
  We employ state-of-the-art technology and efficient work practices.
• Our process includes education of landholders and community. We also promote landholders who participate.
