Core Principles
Our strategy is undefined by 4 core principles
Community centred
We place the needs and aspirations of the community at the front and centre of our programs. To ensure their priorities are identified and addressed we work with the community, including women and other marginalised groups to codesign activities.
Systems thinking
In making sense of the complexity of the world we take an integrated approach by looking at the whole rather than focusing on its parts.
Systems thinking is an effective way to explore and develop effective solutions in complex contexts.
NbS Standard
The IUCN Nature-based Solutions Standard provides sound, science–based, and clear parameters for defining NbS and a common framework to help benchmark progress.
This framework is critical to increasing the scale and impact of the NbS approach.
Solutions Focus
There is no point repeating the past. We don’t have time given the scale of challenges we as a planet face. We focus on learning the lessons, building on what has worked in the past and taking calculated risks to drive outcomes at the scale and speed needed.
TierraMar is an Australia based conservation charity working to build resilient communities and reverse nature loss by helping to unlock transformational change.
