PROVIDING MORE GREEN SPACES IN THE BIG CITY
Cities are responsible for some 70 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions with transport, buildings, energy, and waste management accounting for the bulk of urban greenhouse gas emissions. In supporting this global call for a carbon-free World, starting with our Nation’s Capital, Port Moresby Nature Park’s nursery houses hundreds of tree seedlings, ready for planting. The Park through its Trees4Life initiative supports the nation’s capital by supplying tree seedlings, creating more green spaces for residents to enjoy in the future. Since 2020, the Park has provided over 10,000 tree seedlings for planting around the city. It is a collective responsibility by all citizens to ensure the future of our natural environment and you too can help us play your part by creating more ‘Green’ to reduce carbon emissions into the environment by planting trees or maintaining the natural environment that you have around you now. The ‘Trees for Life’ initiative is supported by the global NGO Cities 4Forests and One Tree Planted, the Sir Brian Bell Foundation, the British High Commission, Rotary Club of Port Moresby and Skal Port Moresby. With continuous environmental issues affecting many societies today, the work of Port Moresby Nature Park will be even more important as we advocate, protect and conserve PNG’s Wildlife and Natural Environment.
