Portfolio
From landowners to NGOs, from Indonesia to Honduras, our partners are charting a new path to biodiversity and abundance for every species on Earth.
They are committed to creating, validating and scaling nature-positive models — and we are committed to enabling them at each stage of the journey.
Zorzal
Scaling the world’s first Bird-Friendly-certified cacao farm
Zorzal is dedicated to using cacao to finance the conservation of Bicknell's Thrush habitat. The majority of the 1,019-acre reserve is left ‘forever wild’, while other sections are used to grow cacao that is then processed at an off-site facility. Wedgetail’s investment supports Zorzal in scaling its operations by purchasing cacao from farmers that are adopting practices that support biodiversity.

Revival
Reviving 4,000 years of Mexican cacao history by honouring tradition and embracing modernity
Revival Cacao is determined to restore Mexican cacao to its former glory, using both ancient techniques of ceremonial cacao lavado and the most modern post-harvest processes for fermented specialty cacao sourced from the rainforests of Tabasco, Chiapas and Oaxaca. In addition to selling high-quality cacao beans, Revival also exports ceremonial cacao paste and chocolate couvertures and is exploring the processing of upcycled cacao pulp and husk products. Wedgetail’s investment helps Revival work with local producers, expanding farm rehabilitation efforts, enhancing traditional agroforestry farming practices where cacao plays a major role, and ultimately restoring forest ecosystems in the Tabasco and Chiapas regions.

The Quoin
Reimagining regeneration at our living laboratory in the Tasmanian Midlands
To solve a problem, you must deeply understand it. But the nature crisis is no ordinary problem. The only way to understand a problem of such complexity is to learn by doing… which is exactly what we’re doing in Lutruwita/Tasmania, in the heart of the Midlands, at our demonstration property The Quoin. Spanning 5,000 hectares, with bushland, grassland, heathy woodland and unique landforms that support diverse native animal populations, this is where the Wedgetail team is learning what it takes to restore an ecosystem, what measuring and monitoring is needed and how to combine conservation and commercial activities.
