Cultural Fire Credits Auction
Invest in the first ever Cultural Fire Credit before trading opens to the market
Cultural Fire Credits is an initiative by the Firesticks Alliance and the Aboriginal Carbon Foundation supporting Indigenous-led projects and providing pathways for Aboriginal communities to utilise traditional land management practices to heal, protect and manage Country.
From governance through to generation in the marketplace and verification, Cultural Fire Credits are Aboriginal owned. This ensures Indigenous-led and implemented projects that engage the wider community and deliver equitable benefits and outcomes for corporations, agencies, organisations, educational and research institutions, and individuals.
