At Act Sustainably Limited, we believe in creating real change quickly and effectively. In our interactions with corporate clients and training course participants, we often discuss the impact of private sector businesses partnering directly with charities.

Imagine a future where Australia's ecosystems thrive once more! 🐨 About 50% of our eucalypt forests have been lost to land clearing for agriculture, but through the Landscape Resilience Program, we're fighting to bring them back by restoring vital habitats by uniting public, private, and government efforts. As Mark, FNPW's Chief Program Officer reminds us, "It might take 200 years to repair some of the damage, but we've got to start somewhere." With every tree donated, you're reviving vital habitats. Join us on a bold journey: plant 8 Million Trees by 2030 and establish 100 community nurseries, building on our success of 1 million trees and 30 nurseries in just three years. Your support can spark real change—donate today and help restore Australia's landscapes.

In 2015, the Murray Darling Wetlands Working Group, The Nature Conservancy (Australia) and Kilter Rural, launched the Murray-Darling Basin Balanced Water Fund, the first investment vehicle in Australia to provide investors with the opportunity to achieve multiple objectives of securing water for agriculture, realising a financial return and restoring threatened wetlands. Below on the Riverspace site, you can see the wetlands and projects supported by donations of water we are managing in collaboration with many community and government organisations. The estimated 30,000 wetlands within the Murray-Darling Basin are highly diverse, ranging from vast floodplains, billabongs, and swamps to smaller wetlands and streams. The wetlands are home to a wide variety of plants and animals, including several threatened and endangered species. Please take a moment to consider making a donation that will go towards restoration and protection of our wetlands. https://lnkd.in/g_ZvcV_U

We are really excited to have brokered what is thought to be the first natural capital partnership in Scotland between an educational institution and a community landowner.
