Biodiversity trials on the East Coast
We want to see a regional recovery from Cyclone Gabrielle that puts our native ngahere and native biodiversity front and centre.
The ECX is partnering with innovators, practitioners and East Coast communities to co-develop a region-specific biodiversity mission. Together, we are developing a bold and aspirational goal to deliver biodiversity market trials on the East Coast and serve community aspirations for a nature-based regional recovery that strengthens the climate resilience of the land and people.
