Langlovale Station Wetlands Regeneration Project (Revoked)

ERF187522

Project Information:

Langlovale Station Wetlands Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located at Langlovale Station, approximately 70km west of Georgetown and 80km east of Croydon in the Gulf Savannah region of Far North Queensland. It was registered in September 2023 and covers a substantial area of 32,768.48 hectares within the Shire of Etheridge.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects involve regenerating permanent even-aged native forests on land where vegetation growth has been suppressed for at least 10 years. For this project, the primary activity was managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing to allow native vegetation, such as local eucalypts and tea trees, to recover and mature from in-situ seed sources, including rootstock and lignotubers.

The surrounding Gulf Savannah region is well known for extensive cattle grazing and operates in a tropical savannah climate. The area experiences distinct wet and dry seasons, with the majority of its rainfall occurring during the summer monsoon followed by a very dry winter. The local landscape features flat to undulating plains with soils ranging from sandy loams on ridges to heavier alluvial clays in the low-lying wetland areas and floodplains.

The project's proponents were Climate Revive Pty Ltd and Corporate Carbon Advisory Pty Ltd. Climate Revive is notably led by environmental scientist Khory Hancock, also known publicly as the "Environmental Cowboy," who advocates for merging traditional agriculture with profitable carbon farming. The project's specific focus on "Wetlands Regeneration" suggested a targeted effort to restore critical riparian zones or seasonal lagoons to boost local biodiversity in the semi-arid environment. Despite these plans, the project was officially revoked on April 28, 2026, under section 30 of the CFI Rule.
