12. World Resources Institute Step 3: Trends analysis: Freshwater 1. Condition and trends 6 of 7 catchments over-allocated All catchments projected deficit by 2025 2. Direct drivers Over-consumption Climate change lowering rainfall and soil moisture Water-dependent invasive species spreading beyond plantation 4. Activities of others Major users –Irrigation: 62% –Urban: 27% Poor management on nearby farms (irrigation, crop-soil matching) 3. Company activities Eucalypt and pine increase water demands Wetland, riparian and grassland management increases water quality 5. Indirect drivers Entitlements increasingly unclear Population growth ~ 0.4% / yr Economic growth ~ 5.0% / yr

15. World Resources Institute Step 4. Risks and opportunities Priority ecosystem service Potential risks Potential opportunities Freshwater Increased water scarcity due to: – Invasive species – Nearby farmers – Climate change Internal efficiency improvements (Co) financing improvements of nearby farmers Biomass fuel Use plantation residue in Mondi generator Sell plantation in biomass-to- energy markets Global climate regulation Emerging markets for carbon sequestration Recreation and ecotourism Ecotourism market potential Livestock Grazing reducing productivity Perceived “under-utilization” of Mondi land by nearby farmers
