Is investing in high-integrity carbon credits and biodiversity a priority for your business? By supporting the Sunnyside Permanent Planting Forest project, you are sourcing high-integrity Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) and helping to fund a climate project that supports not only global climate action but also local social and economic improvements.  Situated in the Southwest Australia Ecoregion, one of only 36 global biodiversity hotspots, our Sunnyside Permanent Planting Project is guided by the expertise of Gondwana Link and has a core focus on First Nations engagement and participation. This project will safeguard 560 hectares of established Eucalyptus plantation forest by protecting it from conversion into land cleared for farming or timber harvesting. By halting this carbon loss, the project generates high conservation and community value. ### Download the Information Guide ![Make or Break](https://info.carbonneutral.com.au/hubfs/comparison-image.png "Make or Break") ![Sunnyside-1-1](https://info.carbonneutral.com.au/hubfs/Sunnyside-1-1.jpg "Sunnyside-1-1") ![sunnyside-2](https://info.carbonneutral.com.au/hubfs/sunnyside-2.jpg "sunnyside-2") ![sunnyside-3](https://info.carbonneutral.com.au/hubfs/sunnyside-3.jpg "sunnyside-3") ### The Sunnyside Difference **The Sunnyside Permanent Planting Forest project goes beyond carbon sequestration**. The revenue generated by the sales of these credits directly funds the protection of an additional 750 hectares of critical habitat while actively managing and enriching native forests. This project is helping to deliver **First Nations-focused outcomes** fostering collaboration and cultural knowledge in land management. **This project is situated in one of only 36 global biodiversity hotspots**, making it an irreplaceable treasure. This hotspot harbours a high concentration of unique species found nowhere else in the world. Protecting Sunnyside means safeguarding a unique piece of our planet that can never be recreated. ### Sunnyside Offers Australian Carbon Credits Units (ACCUs), issued by the Australian Government’s Clean Energy Regulator.

The outcomes of this initiative have been created to align with six United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). - 3 - Good Health and Well-Being - 4 - Quality Education - 8 - Decent work and economic growth - 13 - Climate Action - 15 - Life on land - 17 - Partnerships for the goals   ### Why Choose Sunnyside? **Biodiversity enrichment:** Sunnyside protects a nationally listed Threatened Ecological Community and provides habitat for over 300 native flora species, including 13 species listed as conservation priorities by the Western Australian Government. **First Nations Engagement:** The project prioritises Noongar participation in project planning and operations, ensuring that cultural knowledge informs land management. This includes future support for the local Menang people (part of the Noongar nation). Sunnyside is part of the much larger [Gondwana Link](https://gondwanalink.org/), an initiative that is diligently working to improve and increase ecological health and resilience in a connected band of habitats stretching from Margaret River to the Nullarbor Plain in Western Australia. **Scientifically Rigorous:** Registered under the Federal Government's Emissions Reduction Fund, Sunnyside delivers verified carbon sequestration. By halting the loss of carbon that would have otherwise resulted from the land conversion, the project is reducing emissions and generating high conservation and community value. ## Sunnyside is more than carbon credits. It's an investment in a future where nature and community thrive.
