Dorado incorporates social and environmental considerations into everything it does and believes that achieving investment returns, and achieving social and environmental returns are not mutually exclusive.
Australia is one of 17 ‘mega-diverse’ countries, with ecosystems of exceptional variety and uniqueness. Over millions of years, Australia’s geographical isolation and variable climate has developed 85 distinct bio-regions, shaping a host of unique flora and fauna, living in habitats ranging from deserts to tropical rainforests. Unfortunately, Australia is also experiencing the largest documented decline in biodiversity of any continent over the past 200 years. Learn more
As a proudly Australian company, Dorado is committed to taking action to protect our country’s delicate biodiversity from further decline.
Since 2018, Dorado has worked with land owners to protect and enhance Australia’s delicate biodiversity through New South Wales’ Biodiversity Offset Scheme. Learn more
New South Wales has Australia’s most sophisticated, high integrity and impactful scheme for offsetting the unavoidable biodiversity impacts of development.
Land owners within the scheme enter into Biodiversity Stewardship Agreements which seek to enhance and protect land owners’ native vegetation communities through conservation and ongoing management/maintenance. In return, land owners are issued saleable Biodiversity Offset Credits (“Credits”) that correspond to the vegetation plant community types on their land. The number of Credits issued relates to the expected improvement in biodiversity that will result from the permanent protection and management of the land. Infrastructure and other development projects are usually required to offset their clearing of native vegetation by purchasing such Credits. The scheme provides the land owner with two sources of revenue, one from Credit sales and the other from the New South Wales State Government in the form of annual biodiversity stewardship payments in perpetuity to manage and enhance the biodiversity of their land.
Dorado can work with land owners through various ways to best suit their circumstances such as partnership agreements, debt funding or outright land purchase.
