Munda Munda Regeneration Project

The Munda Munda Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located in the locality of Linden, approximately 70km southwest of Bollon in South West Queensland. Registered in August 2020, the project covers a substantial area of 24,288 hectares within the Shire of Paroo. The region is characterized by mulga lands and acacia-wooded grasslands, primarily utilized for pastoral grazing of sheep, goats, and cattle.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects involve regenerating native forests by identifying and removing activities that suppress growth. In this instance, the project focuses on managing the timing and extent of grazing and controlling feral animals, specifically goats and pigs, which destroy young vegetation. By reducing stocking density and installing better fencing, the proponents allow the native vegetation, largely suppressed for over a decade prior, to regenerate naturally from in-situ seed sources and rootstock.

The project area is situated in a semi-arid climate zone with soils typically consisting of red earths and clays common to the "Channel Country" and mulga lands. The project is managed by Munda Munda Pty Ltd (trustee for the Todd Family Trust) with support from Climate Friendly Pty Ltd. Owners Anita and Robert Todd, who have lived on the property for nearly 30 years, have reported that carbon revenues have enabled significant infrastructure improvements, such as new fencing and livestock weighing scales, helping to restore a diverse ecosystem of native flora and fauna.
