Zorzal

Scaling the world’s first Bird-Friendly-certified cacao farm

Project summary

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 by purchasing cacao from farmers that are adopting practices that support biodiversity.

Felds Farm

The chefs-turned-farmers tackling local food insecurity and biodiversity loss

Project summary

Lauren and Michael are former chefs who grow high-quality seasonal produce in Lutruwita/Tasmania. By supplying local restaurants and offering produce boxes on a sliding scale, they’re committed to making fresh, locally grown food more accessible to their community. Like many small farmers in Australia, they faced the challenge of securing long-term land access, farming on leased properties while working toward stability — so we joined forces with crowdfunding lender Steward to deploy two lines of catalytic capital. In November 2024, Lauren and Michael used a land loan from Steward to purchase 100 acres. Wedgetail then provided a nature-linked loan for infrastructure to help establish the business. Of this land, a large area is native forest which will be conserved, while the remaining area will be used for farming. As they transition their operations, their initial focuses include improving soil health, planting hedgerows for pollinators and restoring native vegetation. Wedgetail is proud to support Felds Farm with our first nature-linked loan in Australia, backing their vision for a thriving, sustainable food system.

The Quoin

Reimagining regeneration at our living laboratory in the Tasmanian Midlands

Project summary

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.

Bangalow Koalas

Creating a wildlife corridor across Australia’s Northern Rivers region

Project summary

Bangalow Koalas is a grassroots not-for-profit with a mission to restore native habitat for koalas and other endangered species across the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, Australia. By connecting existing forage trees with revegetated areas, Bangalow Koalas aims to create a wildlife corridor, allowing koalas to freely and safely move between feeding, resting and breeding areas. The organisation’s goal is to plant 500,000 trees by the end of 2025 — and in late-December 2024, celebrated the milestone of 414,000 trees planted since 2019. Wedgetail’s investment supports the planting and maintenance of 3,390 trees over 3.05 hectares. We’re particularly excited about Bangalow Koalas’ dedication to educating, involving and inspiring the local community — through a mix of planting days, educational workshops and stalls, the organisation is not only reconnecting koala habitat, but also reconnecting adults and children with the natural world.

Thin Green Line

Supporting rangers on the frontline of conservation

Project summary

Rangers are nature’s first responders, but they are often under-resourced and work in dangerous conditions. Thin Green Line’s mission is to directly support rangers on the front line of conservation, enabling them to protect wildlife, habitats, communities, and themselves. The organisation was built by rangers, for rangers, and has evolved since 2004 to offer a range of training programs, an equipment fund and payments for the families of fallen rangers. Wedgetail’s grant supports Thin Green Line’s LEAD Ranger program in Kenya and Zimbabwe in 2025. The program has a train-the-trainer model that aims to embed teaching capability and specialist knowledge within conservation organisations across Africa. Wedgetail is especially excited to work with Thin Green Line to champion our shared vision of a world in which humans work for the benefit of all species.

Biodiversity Council

A trusted, expert voice for Australia’s unique biodiversity

Project summary

The Biodiversity Council is an independent group dedicated to promoting evidence-based solutions to Australia’s biodiversity crisis. Founded by 11 universities in 2022, the council aims to foster public, policy and industry recognition of the biodiversity crisis, the importance of biodiversity for wellbeing and prosperity, and positive opportunities and solutions to address these challenges. In 2023, the Biodiversity Council published its inaugural Biodiversity Concerns Survey, demonstrating that 97% of Australians want more action to protect nature. Wedgetail’s grant supports the creation and distribution of the third edition of this report. The 2025 Biodiversity Concerns Survey once again asks Australians about their connection with nature and opinions about government action or inaction, and will be a critical tool for policymakers and businesses alike.

The Tree Projects – Ghana

Exploring, understanding and protecting Ghana’s tropical forests

Project summary

Ghana is home to vital tropical rainforest ecosystems — inside which are some of the least studied forest canopies on Earth. This science gap is the result of the physical difficulty of accessing these areas, the availability and cost of expert training, and the cost of professional equipment that is fit for purpose. But The Tree Projects is determined to dismantle these barriers by raising money for critical equipment for Ghanaian scientists. In 2024, the organisation raised funding to donate four sets of tree-climbing equipment. In 2025, additional funding alongside a Wedgetail grant has enabled the organisation to purchase surveying and monitoring equipment to further empower scientists undertaking ongoing canopy survey work.

Oro Verde

Exporting organic coffee and cacao from the mountains of Peru

Project summary

Oro Verde Foods processes and exports the coffee and cacao grown by members of the Nor Amazónico Cooperative and the Oro Verde Cooperative. The Nor Amazónico Cooperative was formed two years ago and has 135 active members — 75% of whom are women. The Oro Verde Cooperative was established 25 years ago, in the San Martín region of Peru, which is located in a biodiversity hotspot. The cooperative has since grown to 1,200 producers — 75% of whom are from the Chanca Lamista Indigenous group. The majority of these producers are organic and regenerative, growing coffee and cacao in agroforestry systems, where crops are shaded by taller trees to boost soil health, water availability and biodiversity. In addition to bolstering local livelihoods, the Oro Verde Cooperative also supports local reforestation efforts, and has planted 2.5 million native trees and counting.
