DONATETHREATS TO OUR GOAL
Our partner communities face many threats to their work of protecting their land and the rainforest of Papua New Guinea.
The biggest threat is their displacement through illegal customary land acquisition by foreign companies, who want to log their forest and plant oil palm.
This land and resource grabbing destroys the rainforest, and makes the traditional landowners become slaves on their own land.
GLOBAL ISSUE!
8,000,000 HECTARES
OF RAINFOREST DESTROYED EVERY YEAR
HOW DOES ALL THIS AFFECT YOU?
By working with our partner communities to stop logging and deforestation for oil palm, we are also helping to combat climate change and the loss of biodiversity.
Climate change is already starting to change life as we know it world-wide, and with the destruction of nature we are increasing the risk of transfer of diseases from animals to humans leading to global pandemics. On top of that, with the loss of biodiversity we destroy our chances to benefit from possibly beneficial plants and animals, many of them not even recorded yet by science, including potential cures for diseases.
We all contribute knowledge to our global community. By empowering these communities, we allow them to bring their knowledge to the global table, while also combating climate change, which benefits us all.
