corporate support

Foundation Members and supporters

Natural Resource Management organisations Terrain NRM and NQ Dry Tropics, along with project developer GreenCollar, and the Queensland Government’s Department of Environment and Science are foundation members of Eco-Markets Australia. Their corporate knowledge has assisted us with a smooth transition from start-up to fully operational environmental markets administrator. During our establishment phase, Eco-Markets Australia has been supported by the partnership between the Australian Government’s Reef Trust and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, and the Queensland Government’s Reef Water Quality Program.
