Overview
Natural Ecosystems
Our vision
Healthy ecosystems safeguarded for all generations.
Human-driven threats, such as climate change, pose significant risks to natural ecosystems, limiting their health, resilience and ability to support future generations.
Leveraging our experience with marine ecosystems, Minderoo Foundation aims to ensure that healthy ecosystems are safeguarded for all generations.
Our approach
Emphasises the necessity of applying the precautionary principle to protect against serious and irreversible damage to our ecosystems and minimising climate change as a threat multiplier.
We will protect and restore our natural ecosystems by fostering legislation, supporting science and technology R&D, and developing sustainable financial models to balance the needs of our beneficiaries.
We will overcome the climate challenge by supporting policy development, public education on climate urgency and demonstrating what a successful transition looks like domestically.
Outcomes
Our ecosystems are thriving, with biodiversity protected and harmful impacts reduced.
Impacts of climate change mitigated, ensuring a liveable planet.
Bodies of Work
