This First Nations-led project aims to expand the Cypress Pine population to support ecosystem resilience in the face of climate change and protect the species which has historical significance to the Kimberly region. The project also supports care of Country by First Nations knowledge holders. Canon’s grant and equipment will help local communities provide environmental education programs.
“I am honoured to be recognised as the winner of the 2024 Canon Oceania Grants in the First Nations Category. This grant not only validates my commitment to Cypress Pine regeneration, but also empowers me to further my work in preserving our natural heritage in the Kimberley region. With this support, I am inspired to foster sustainable practices that promote ecological resilience of Country for future generations.”
Donny Imberlong, Founder of Kimberley Ecosystem Restoration & Cypress Pine Conservation Project
Transforming unused school land into market gardens that provide food to the local community and learning opportunities for students. Canon gear will record workshops with high-quality video and sound, allowing more people to access, learn and be inspired.
“We're transforming disused school land into regenerative market gardens, to feed, nourish and educate communities - that's impact. If we can capture and convey our stories to bring our audience with us on our journey - that's real impact. Being the successful applicant for the 2024 Canon Oceania Grants Education Category, means we'll now be able to achieve this.”
James McLennan, Co-Founder/Director of Farm My School
Advancing strong climate decarbonisation policies that benefit farmers and farming communities through webinars and workshops. Canon camera equipment will capture these events, creating content for ongoing education, outreach and awareness.
“We are so excited to win the vote for the Canon Grants Program, especially in such a fantastic field of deserving organisations! To Farmers for Climate Action, it tells us people all over Australia are keen to see more farmers connecting and spreading climate-smart agriculture practice across communities and commodities. We'll be proud to share those stories with the help of our brand-new Canon gear for hosting events.”
Walter Batt, Business Impact Director at Farmers for Climate Action
Closing Australia's digital divide by distributing refurbished mobile technology to people in need and training neurodivergent young adults to repair devices. Canon’s cameras will help create virtual tutorials to extend the program’s reach to young adults in rural and remote communities.
“Winning the 2024 Canon Oceania Grants Program Community grant is a huge boost for The Reconnect Project. With Canon camera and audio equipment, we can create interactive training materials, imperative for us to deliver our training program to people via distance learning. Everyone should be able to access quality tech repair services and growing our network of qualified tech repairers in rural and remote areas means better services for those communities.”
Annette Brodie, Founder & CEO of The Reconnect Project
