OceanEarth Foundation
OceanEarth Foundation (formerly TierraMar) is an Australia based conservation charity working to build resilient communities and reverse nature loss by helping to unlock transformational change. We work globally with a focus on Australia, the Pacific, and the Coral Triangle to unlock new and innovative thinking, approaches and collaborations, foster tomorrow's change makers and enable community led action on the ground. Collectively, our planet needs action at a transformational scale and speed to halt and reverse nature loss and achieve a net zero emissions world by 2050. We help people and communities unlock that transformational change to build their resilience and reverse nature loss. We contribute to this change in the places we work through: - unlocking new and innovative thinking, approaches and collaborations set within a nature based solution framework to meet societal challenges and create the policy enabling environment required to scale. - fostering tomorrow’s change makers to shape a nature positive net zero world. - demonstrating community led transformational action on the ground at the scale and speed needed. We believe that a paradigm shift in global thinking and action is required if this ambition is to be achieved. Our ambition is to help achieve this paradigm shift.
