Pilbara Restoration Partnership

About The proposed partnership would be collaboratively developed and may include the planning, establishment, delivery, monitoring and adaptive management of coordinated conservation and restoration activities across multiple Pilbara landscapes. A core element of the partnership will be working alongside Traditional Owners to incorporate cultural knowledge, reflect cultural values, and help inform the design, delivery and long-term stewardship of Country. The partnership may commence with one or more priority Pilbara locations and may scale up and into additional areas progressively over time, with potential locations subject to Traditional Owner and partner priorities, approvals and further refinement. Scope Potential activities may include: Threatened species protection and recovery Management of fire, feral predators, large feral herbivores and invasive weeds Habitat restoration and improved ecological connectivity Establishment and management of conservation areas Ecological baseline surveys, monitoring, evaluation and reporting, including fulfilling requirements of regulated nature financing mechanisms (e.g. Nature Repair Market credits, biodiversity offsets) Eligibility This EOI is intended to identify organisations with relevant capability, delivery experience, strategic alignment and interest. It is not a request for a detailed technical or commercial proposal. The scope, locations, governance and delivery model, desired outcomes and implementation pathway would be co-developed with the preferred organisation(s) during a subsequent process.
