PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FOR VALIDATION AT CLIMATE, COMMUNITY & BIODIVERSITY ALLIANCE (CCBA)

Greeting from Tumu Timbers Development Limited, owned by the Incorporated Land Groups of ‘Kamula Doso’ of the Western Province of PNG. As the first ILG to undertake to have an Improved Forestry Management Carbon Trading Project dual verified by the Voluntary Carbon Standard and Climate Community Biodiversity Alliance. The importance to our people of this project cannot be understated. We will save our rain forests from logging, for generations to come. We will institute health programs, education, and fresh water projects, as well as infrastructure development to enable our people to prosper and have a better future. We will also be able to institute training programs within our forests, to provide our children with the skills to look after our forests for the next hundred years. And in our own small way, by saving our rainforests from logging, we will help fight climate change by reducing the amount of noxious gases vented into the atmosphere.
