Currently, the FullCAM3 model used by the Department of Climate Change to predict tree growth has insufficient data.
If the federal government made available all its data on tree growth as well as the data from state governments then not for profit environmental groups would use the information to plant more native trees for carbon credits.
The return from the sale of the carbon credits would then be used for more revegetation.

Peter,

A great idea to move forward.

Could I add a possible addition to the already great idea you are putting forward. In my research I am finding data or a particular analysis of that data does not exist. I very much suspect that I am not the only one who is looking.

It would be interesting for organisations to be able to submit the data / information that they are looking for in order to identify areas of common demand. Community projects could then be initiated where there is common demand for data – with some projects funded or supported by Government agencies, if aligned with their interests.

Great work

Russell

We were thinking the former but I don’t see any problem with the later being included and considered. I think it is more the intent of what is being done – by that I mean for the public good, with some socially responsible aim, in the sense of the NFP and charity sector.

Hmmmm, got us thinking…
An exciting opportunity nonetheless.

G’Day Peter,

Are you after formal, legally recognised not-for-profits and charities or people who are doing things because they can that don’t generate revenue?
