Mining heiress pledges A$120 million to 10 environmental groups, including A$25 M to Greenpeace

An Australian mining heiress and her husband have pledged A$120 million to support ten environmental organisations across the country. The donation is one of the largest private contributions to conservation efforts in Australian history.

The funding follows a multibillion-dollar sale of family iron-ore interests in Western Australia's Pilbara region. The couple's decision will provide major financial support to local legal, advocacy, and conservation groups working to protect land, oceans, and the climate.

Under the funding plan, environmental organisation Greenpeace Australia Pacific will receive the largest single donation. The group has been promised A$25 million to support its long-term campaigns focused on marine protection and climate action.Major grant allocations empower ten conservation groupsThe donation will create a funding programme that provides long-term financial support to ten selected non-profit environmental organisations.
