Gondwana is the old Southland
The meaning behind Gondwana Carbon's name
Earth’s mother continent, Gondwana incorporated present-day South America, Africa, Arabia, Madagascar, India, Australia, and Antarctica. Gondwana is about restoring the balance. The age of Gondwana saw the first transformation of our atmosphere by locking away of carbon, to support life as we know it. In many of the countries that formed the old Gondwana, the risks of climate repair inaction and rewards of action are great.
