As founding partners of the TreadRight Foundation, AAT Kings’ global sustainable travel charity partner, we’re always proud to hear of new nature-based solutions against climate change, both domestically right here in Australia, and across the globe!
This week we are thrilled to announce the TreadRight Foundation’s latest partnership with the Barena Association, an organisation dedicated to preserving the Northern Venetian Lagoon, its unique wetland environment, and Indigenous culture & traditions.
This partnership will allow for the protection of approximately 3.24 hectares of the salt marsh and will avoid CO2 emissions in the range 17.7 - 59.3 tonnes, achieved through the sequestration capability of the habitats which - without protection - would be eroded.
