We're finalists in the World Environment Day Awards!

 

Greenfleet and Biolinking Australia have been announced as finalists in the Biodiversity category of the 2010 UNAA World Environment Day Awards for our work on the Northern Victoria Biolinks Project.

The Northern Victorian Biolinks project is a collaboration between two likeminded organisations focused on developing a innovative market based approach to protecting, enhancing and restoring Victoria's biodiversity.

Thus far the project has achieved:

• Landscape scale revegetation of over 2000 hectares of marginal agricultural land
• Protection of over 1300 hectares of existing formerly grazed areas of biodiversity
• Increased connectivity between significant areas of privately owned remnant vegetation
• Increased resilience of significant populations of threatened species

This recognition helps to demonstrate that action on climate change can also bring about significant benefits for the Australian landscape.

Winners are announced on 4 June - wish us well.
