Since 2019, DT Global's USAID-funded Papua New Guinea Lukautim Graun Program (LGP) has been a driving force in #biodiversity #conservation and community development in the Bismarck Forest Corridor. LGP stands as a leading model for sustainable development in #PNG, showcasing USAID’s commitment to protecting natural landscapes and supporting communities. Key achievements include: 🚷 Establishment of protected areas, contributing to the conservation of vital forest ecosystems and endangered species. 🌲 Reduction in deforestation through targeted interventions and sustainable land management practices. 🧑💼 Support for alternative livelihoods, which have helped reduce pressure on natural resources and improved the economic well-being of local communities. LGP integrates traditional knowledge with modern conservation, empowering local communities in environmental decisions. Partnering with community and women’s organizations, the program promotes sustainable resource management and gender equity. As LGP marks its fifth anniversary, a three-day workshop in August evaluated successes and set objectives for its two-year extension. The extension aims to sustain and build upon the program’s achievements, with a continued focus on strengthening community capacity, advancing conservation efforts, and addressing emerging issues such as climate change.🌿 For more information on USAID LGP and its ongoing efforts, visit their website: https://ow.ly/o55M30sGR7z #IWork4DTGlobal #WeAreDTGlobal #USAID #LGP #BiodiversityConservation #SustainableDevelopment #PapuaNewGuinea #EnvironmentalImpact #CommunityDevelopment
