THE CHARITIES

Australian Ocean Lab (AusOcean) was established in 2017 as an environmental not-for-profit with a mission to help our oceans through technology. 

Working in marine conservation, AusOcean designs, builds and deploys open source ocean technology including sea surface platforms and custom sensors. Data is transmitted straight to the “cloud”, where it is stored, analysed and shared. 

Improving global understanding of oceans and their value relies on innovation that improves accessibility, lowers costs, and removes barriers between groups of users. AusOcean aims to transform the way in which ocean data is collected and communicated by leveraging low-cost, open source data and technology.

BioR is a not-for-profit organisation that generates funds, knowledge and practical skills to re-construct habitats that support native wildlife in degraded landscapes.

BioR supports research that improves our knowledge of the habitat requirements of fauna, and research that improves the quality of reconstructed habitats so that they will support threatened plants and animals in the future. 

BioR’s Flagship projects include 175 hectares of previously cleared farmland at Cygnet Park, Kangaroo Island that has been revegetated; and current efforts to reconstruct woodland habitats on the 550-hectare Frahn’s Farm near Monarto.

BioR’s vision is for biodiversity to be secure for all future generations to enjoy. Past vegetation clearance has been so great that many species, plant and animal, will continue to decline and disappear.  Reconstructing resilient and self-sustaining habitats is needed to prevent these imminent losses.

The Forktree Project is a not-for-profit organisation established in 2020 which is restoring 53 hectares of extensively cleared pastoral farmland in the Fleurieu Peninsula. By planting almost 20,000 native trees and shrubs, Forktree aims to create valuable habitat while also sequestering tens of thousands of tonnes of carbon dioxide over the life of the project to help combat climate change.

Forktree is also working to educate and inspire the local communities about the importance of environmental stewardship; trialling better methods of measuring above and below-ground carbon; and constructing a seed nursery of native plants for local landowners’ ongoing revegetation efforts. 

Forktree’s goals are critical to combating the biodiversity loss and climate change threats facing Australia. Australia is one of seven countries responsible for over 50 percent of global biodiversity loss. Small to medium-sized properties like Forktree represent the majority of rural properties in Australia, and have a huge, largely untapped potential to help combat these twin threats.

AUCTION

As part of the event and fundraising effort, you will have the opportunity to bid at auction for a piece by acclaimed South Australian painter, Tsering Hannaford, as well as mentoring sessions from leading Adelaide professionals. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the three charities.

THE PIECE: 

This framed print of ‘Violet Phalaenopsis Orchid’ was inspired by the beauty of the highly structural Phalaenopsis orchid. Originating in South East Asia, these orchids can be artificially coloured, bringing a range of beautiful and unusual effects. The subtle violet appears natural but on closer inspection, it is not the petals themselves that carry the hue, but the veins through which the artificial dye has been carried.

Dimensions: 69cm x 70cm, in a 2cm wide oak frame, 4cm depth. Printed on 310 GSM Hahnemuhle Etching Paper (German etching paper), this is a limited edition of 25, signed and numbered by the artist.

The print retails for $600 framed. 

Reserve price: $200
