Submission on the Nature Repair Market – Exposure Draft of Legislation

Of relevance to this proposed legislation, since 2009 I have been a foundation director of an environmental philanthropy Karrkad Kanjdji Trust that looks to source financial support from public, corporate and philanthropic sources for locally driven projects for several ranger groups in Arnhem Land: one of our innovative projects is the grounded close monitoring of biodiversity outcomes in the 12,000 sq kms Warddeken Indigenous Protected Area. I am also a director (since 2018) of Original Power that auspices the First Nations Clean Energy Network that I assist as a policy and research adviser; and I work with the Australia Institute as chair of its research committee and with Arnhem Land Fire Abatement (NT) Limited in research.
