Orangerie Bay
Papua New Guinea
The Orangerie Bay Community Project is a partnership between 136 families in Papua New Guinea and the UK based NGO Cool Earth, to protect 4,000 acres of rainforest from the advance of palm oil plantations.
It began in 2014, when the community leaders contacted Cool Earth for help. A partnership was established between Cool Earth and the villages of Orangerie Bay, where community support in the form of sustainable income generation, education, health, basic infrastructure and small grant schemes are provided.
