The Papua New Guinea Biodiversity and Climate Fund has launched a new funding call to support the creation and expansion of Protected Areas in Papua New Guinea, in partnership with the Rainforest Trust. Under Outcome 1 of the Fund’s Programmatic Objectives the funding call aims to support communities to protect their terrestrial and marine environment as well as support Papua New Guinea to achieve its international targets. Proposed sites should be currently unprotected (or the proposed expanded area should not be within the current gazette area), and the project proponents commit to achieving and maintaining protected area status.
The BCF has formed a partnership with the Rainforest Trust, a US-based conservation NGO, to support Papua New Guinea to expand its Protected Area network in line with Key Biodiversity Areas
