flag Up to 39 million trees in Papua New Guinea’s Milne Bay rainforest are at risk of being logged and shipped to China, threatening biodiversity, carbon storage, and Indigenous communities. flag Loggers are offering cash and infrastructure promises to eight communities, many with limited access to basic services, increasing their vulnerability. flag The forest, home to 7% of global species and 6.9 billion tonnes of carbon, supports endangered wildlife. flag Environmental group Cool Earth is helping three communities resist logging through cash transfers and forest monitoring training, with five others seeking support. flag Without urgent intervention, hundreds of thousands of hectares of primary rainforest could be lost.
