Money goes a huge way in Papua New Guinea

£11 pays for a ranger for a day

£30 pays for that ranger's head torch

£240 pays for a hammock so they can sleep safely above the forest floor

£500 pays for a Garmin InReach so they have a safety support line and emergency help access

We are currently fund raising for our expedition, supporting the community with legal fees and a ranger programme

What the Nakanai community are saying

An elder woman, Lydia Gah of the Nakanai community stands with her hands pressed together in a praying gesture, outdoors among a group of children and other people in a Baikakea village with ancestral trees in the background.

“This Caldera is a very unique place. It’s beautiful. We are looking after this Caldera and we don’t want it to be destroyed. We conserve it for you to come and see, not to take it away. ”

— Patrick Temi, Chairman of the Lamo Auru Conservation Area

“Anything and everything that’s contained within the caldera, it’s about us. It’s our heart beat. Our rivers. Our forest. Our mountains. That is very very important to us. It’s our life blood. It explains the people that we are”

— Lydia Gah, Nakanai land custodian

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We are a Community Interest Company (CIC), not a Charity. While it’s a brilliant business model, it does mean that donations are generally not tax deductable for individuals and we do not qualify for Gift Aid.

    However, businesses may treat a donation to a CIC as a business expense.

  • Generally, smaller donations go straight to the community. Helping to initially pay for rangers within the Caldera and eventually planting new trees in the areas that have been destroyed.

    Larger donations go towards our expedition and legal support for the community as they battle the companies facilitating the illegal logging.
