Monarto Zoo From 2002 - an ongoing story
The Monarto Zoological Park (now known as Monarto Zoo) Revegetation Project began in 2002, and was Trees For Life’s first dedicated carbon offset planting site.
More than 150,000 local provenance trees, shrubs and ground covers have been established over 120 hectares and plantings are continuing.
The project has been a spectacular success thanks to Trees For Life and Monarto Zoo staff and the efforts of hundreds of local school children and adult volunteers.
The project has resulted in wonderful biodiversity outcomes within the 1,000 hectare zoo environs, created expanded habitat for the local native fauna, addressed top-soil erosion and salinity issues, buffered remnant vegetation, provided valuable educational opportunities and enhanced the aesthetics of the zoo for all of its patrons.
