Fewer than 100 adult Wollemi pines exist in the world, in a protected grove in Australia’s Blue Mountains. Unchanged for over 200 million years, their survival is a story of fragility and resilience: enduring, but almost lost. During the most destructive bushfires in Australian history, human intervention prevented catastrophe. What the next 200 million years looks like for the Wollemi pine rests with us. We alone will evolve their story from persistence to nurture, from nurture to growth. Wollemi Capital™ believes that the custodianship of the environment is key to a thriving future – one in which astute deployment of capital will drive even greater outcomes for our planet, partners and investors.
