Firestick Fund: Kimberley Carbon Cattle Conservation Culture Project (Revoked)

Firestick Fund: Kimberley Carbon Cattle Conservation Culture Project (Revoked) is a Savanna Fire Management project located in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia, approximately 200km north-northeast of Fitzroy Crossing. It was registered by FIRESTICK FUND PTY LTD in May 2016 and covered an expansive 501,530.95 hectares.

Savanna fire management projects involve the strategic and planned burning of savanna landscapes during the early dry season to reduce overall fuel loads. Under this standard methodology, reducing the fuel load mitigates the risk and extent of hotter, more destructive late dry season wildfires, which in turn reduces the amount of greenhouse gases (such as methane and nitrous oxide) emitted into the atmosphere.

The central Kimberley region is heavily utilised for large-scale pastoral operations, specifically cattle grazing, as well as significant Aboriginal freehold and conservation management. The regional environment is characterised by a semi-arid monsoonal climate with distinct wet and dry seasons, placing the project firmly within the methodology's designated low rainfall zone. Soils in this rugged region generally consist of sandy loams, lateritic plains, and ancient sandstone outcrops.

This project was originally established with goals to integrate carbon abatement with cattle conservation and indigenous cultural practices. In March 2017, the project underwent a spatial variation, and certain areas were removed from the official project bounds. Ultimately, the project was revoked in June 2018 under section 30 of the Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) Rule.
