WCS will be undertaking a new programme of environmental education work in New Ireland Province thanks to support from the Australian Government Direct Aid Program (DAP).
This funding from DAP will help to bring school children into WCS’s Climate Change Education Resource Centre and to support a schools outreach programme where WCS staff will deliver information and curriculum materials on climate change and the environment to primary schools throughout the province.
A further aspect of the project will involve delivering information, materials and practical lessons on climate change adaptation to 20 vulnerable communities in northern New Ireland.
WCS is grateful for the support from the Australian Government Direct Aid Program and will be implementing this project over the coming six months.
