How do Local Communities use data to protect the rainforest?

Donations to Cool Earth this December will be doubled, supporting initiatives like the Rainforest Lab in Papua New Guinea, where Indigenous students like Liddie are trained to monitor and protect their rainforest from threats like illegal logging and climate change impacts. The lab empowers young people to become rainforest protectors and defend important carbon stores, strengthening the front line of rainforest protection. Matched donations will help more students in Wabumari find a path into conservation, enabling them to take an active role in protecting their territories and combating climate change. This initiative not only supports local communities but also contributes to the global effort to preserve vital ecosystems for future generations.
