Biodiversity Credits
Custom Price & Scalable
Every Business can play a part
Biodiversity credits are a voluntary, market-based mechanism that enables businesses and investors to finance verified ecological outcomes that go beyond what would have occurred without intervention. When you invest in Catchment biodiversity credits:
- You support measurable improvements in ecosystem health
- You help steward landscapes in ways that benefit wildlife and communities
- You contribute to scalable conservation outcomes aligned with broader environmental goals
Credits are backed by robust safeguards and long-term monitoring to ensure lasting impact.
How We Ensure Impact

Every project we support delivers measurable ecological benefits - not promises. From protecting bushland to helping restore habitat, you’ll be able to track the outcomes you helped create.
Transparency and Trust
We use rigorous methods and independent frameworks to ensure integrity and accountability, so you can be confident your support leads to real impact.
Community and Stewardship
We work with landholders, Traditional Owners and conservation partners to deliver outcomes that are ecologically and socially meaningful, ensuring local knowledge and site-specific care are valued.
Catchment’s nature-positive outcomes are third-party validated and contribute to the seventeen United Nations sustainable development goals specifically;
1

Goal 15.a Mobilize and significantly increase financial resources from all sources to conserve and sustainably use biodiversity and ecosystems.
2
Protect Biodiversity and Natural Habitats
Goal 15.5 Take urgent and significant action to reduce the degradation of natural habitats, halt the loss of biodiversity and, by 2020, protect and prevent the extinction of threatened species.
Catchment Whitepaper
Why It Matters
Australia’s unique biodiversity is under pressure. Habitat loss, fragmentation and environmental change are driving declines in native species and ecosystem health.
Catchment exists to mobilise funding and support mechanisms that help reverse that trend by protecting habitat - permanently - and restoring ecological function.

Real Words From Real Supporters
"Choosing to match my house block to provide habitat for native fauna was an easy decision. Knowing my support directly helps threatened species makes the contribution feel real and personal. With Catchment units, I can see the difference my investment is making—and that’s incredibly motivating."
"For my business, I was looking for something that was more than just a carbon offset but rather had a long-term positive impact on nature. That’s what drew me to purchasing Catchment units."
"We purchased Catchment units because we knew that 100% of our money was going to real conservation outcomes on the ground and not caught up in admin and other costs. Our impact is instant but will also leave a legacy. We bought six credits - one to match our home and one for each of our five children!"
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Catchment?
Catchment is a dedicated not‑for‑profit organisation created to ensure that individuals and businesses can make a genuine, measurable difference to Australia’s native wildlife. Every contribution made to Catchment goes directly toward on‑ground conservation actions—not administration—so your support delivers real outcomes where they’re needed most. As the charitable arm of our subsidiary company, Carbon Landscapes, we combine ecological expertise with a mission-driven purpose to protect and restore threatened habitats.
What are ‘Homes for Habitat’?
Just as every person has a place to call home, every native species needs safe, healthy habitat. ‘Homes for Habitat’ empowers individuals, businesses, and community groups to create and sustain vital habitat for native wildlife. By supporting this program, you help us deliver targeted conservation work that strengthens ecosystems and gives threatened species a fighting chance.
Why are the ‘Homes for Habitat’ 500 metres in size?
A typical Australian home sits on roughly 500 m². When you support a ‘Home for Habitat’, you are directly offsetting the footprint of your own home by protecting the same area of native habitat for wildlife. It’s a simple, powerful way to ensure that your everyday life contributes positively to the natural world.
Where are the Homes for Habitat located?
Our Homes for Habitat are positioned across Victoria, Australia on properties that protect high‑value, threatened ecosystems. We’re also expanding our framework to welcome additional landholders with conservation‑worthy habitat—so your support helps us grow the network of protected landscapes across the state.
How is my contribution to Homes for Habitat helping native wildlife?
Your contribution enables our team to carry out critical conservation work—including pest control, ecological fire and water management, and habitat restoration tailored to threatened species. These are applying hands‑on, science‑backed actions proven to improve the health and resilience of ecosystems. When you donate, you are investing in tangible, long-term outcomes for wildlife that need our help now more than ever.
Can I visit the property that I am helping to manage?
Yes! We host ‘open weekends’ that allow supporters like you to see the real, on‑the‑ground difference your contribution is making. These events offer a unique opportunity to witness habitat restoration in action, speak with our ecological team, and experience firsthand the impact of your generosity. We’ll let you know when and where these events will take place.
