Restoring Our Forest, Reclaiming Our Culture
The Dika community in Papua New Guinea has depended on the Dika Forest for generations, but climate change and wildfires have damaged this vital ecosystem. Through Climates micro-grants, the community has restored native forests, protected biodiversity, and revived cultural traditions.
What is a Micro Grant?
Micro Grants support community groups to fill small-scale funding gaps to achieve their climate projects, empowering communities to have a greater impact in the fight against climate change.
