Youth Collaboarate to take Action
As part of the “Preserving Our Forest for Our Future Generation” initiative, they successfully conducted a three-day training on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and forest inventory from June 22–24, 2024, in Orea Village, Central Highlands of Ward 19, East Are’Are, Malaita Province.
Funding from the training aimed to strengthen the capacity of community rangers in forest conservation, monitoring, and sustainable resource management.
The training was led by Aarahau Project Manager Mostyn Tootalau and facilitated by consultants Denyse Ha’apio, Aaron Watenaoana, and Brendon Herehou. Participants included representatives from Orea Village, Taripiri, Manu, Apuapu, Anonihoa, and Su’u Village, as well as men, women, and youth.
Through practical GIS mapping and forest inventory exercises, community rangers gained valuable skills in forest data collection, monitoring, and environmental stewardship. The initiative reflects AFPAA’s ongoing commitment to preserving the Aarahau forest and safeguarding its natural resources for future generations.
Let’s meet up in real life to share in the beauty of the natural world.
