Protecting and restoring Our South West is a collective effort that relies on strategic partnerships for long-term impact. Investors, philanthropists and organisations invest in our work for bespoke outcomes on a regional scale, within a biodiversity hotspot renowned for its natural values.
Funding for impact
Investing in Our South West delivers a host of social, environmental and economic benefits for both those who live here and those who visit. We are well positioned to deliver this work because:
- We’re responsible for developing the overarching NRM plan for the region on behalf of the Federal Government. We know where investment will have the greatest strategic impact – from saving threatened species from extinction to supporting beef farmers to decarbonise.
- We have intimate knowledge of the region and over 20 years of experience working with local Landcare groups, Traditional Owners, landholders, local businesses and the community.
- We work at the regional landscape scale, delivering meaningful benefits that flow through to local communities via our network of member organisations.
- We’re a team of technical experts with considerable experience in successfully managing landscape-scale programs and projects
- We’re supported by a skilled and experienced Board, effective governance frameworks and robust administrative systems.
- We understand the complexities of global and national environmental markets for carbon and biodiversity, and how they can be harnessed for investment returns. We work with partners on carbon farming and natural capital accounting programs and have helped co-develop the Federal Government’s Nature Repair Market.
Investment supports a sector experiencing drastic under-resourcing, at a time when climate action and ecological restoration have never been more important.
