The rainforest there is protected from deforestation and the support of the project brings many other benefits to the local people and thus secures their future. In addition, we make sustainable contributions to the UN goals for sustainable development.
Due to illegal logging, agricultural use or increasing settlement, the forest areas have, however, been greatly reduced. Through forest protection projects - such as the one in April Salumei - the forests are protected in the long term, which is especially important for the CO2 storage. The rainforest in April Salumei, for example, has an annual volume of 400,000 tonnes of CO2.
''We chose the rainforest protection project in Papua New Guinea because we want to counteract the deforestation of the rainforests and also offer a perspective to the people living there". - Nico Rehmann, CEO of asioso
