Own Project | Habitat 141 is a large-scale revegetation project in the SW Victoria spanning 150,000km2 classified as a biodiversity hotspot. Its aims are for the conservation, protection and restoration of the ecosystems of this area. Living Trees Project objective is to plant 5,000,000 biodiverse plantings over the next 5 years. This project is conducted in partnership with other organisations and is identified as one of our current major projects.
Other project areas are being identified continually for future projects subject to funding. Living Trees projects focuses on practical on ground works to create a more sustainable environment for future generations. Such projects represent scientific endeavour and lasting environmental repair and restoration of the landscape.

- Project is in combination with Greening Australia who is an Approved AbatementA reduction in the amount or intensity of greenhouse gas emissions as a result of actions taken by a company or individual. Provider for the Greenhouse FriendlyGreenhouse Friendly 'The Greenhouse Friendly™ initiative has been operating since 2001 to certify carbon neutralA voluntary mechanism where an activity, event, household, business or organisation is responsible for no net emissions of greenhouse gases and can therefore be declared carbon neutral in that specific area. Carbon neutrality can be achieved by reducing emissions as far as possible (e.g. energy efficiency, purchasing renewable energy) and then purchasing offsets for any residual emissions in order to achieve zero net emissions. products and services and approve abatement credits for sale on the voluntary market, including to Greenhouse Friendly™ certified product and service providers. Introduction of the Carbon Pollution Reduction SchemeAustralia's cap and trade scheme which will come in to effect in 2010. The CPRS will place a limit, or cap, on the amount of carbon pollution industry can emit and allow trading of carbon credits. It will concentrate on the biggest polluters, by placing obligations on around 1000 Australian companies in total. However it will effect all Australians through indirect price increases. (the Scheme) has implications for Greenhouse Friendly™. The Scheme will have broad sectoral coverage, which means there will be less scope to pursue offset activities with offsets limited to emissions sources uncovered by the Scheme. This means the Scheme will impact on the types of abatement that can be provided, because abatement in sectors covered by the Scheme will no longer be additional to “business as usual”. For these reasons Greenhouse Friendly™ will wind up on 1 July 2010. Greenhouse Friendly™ certification of carbon neutral products and services will continue to operate until 1 July 2010. Applications for new abatement projects have closed. Abatement may be generated by current Greenhouse Friendly™ abatement providers up to 1 July 2010, and may still be sold and purchased after that date. Program (Breathe Easy).
