From August to October 2008, Greenpeace ship, the Esperanza, toured Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, protecting the Paradise Forests to save the climate.
August 2008: Greenpeace has launched our Forests for Climate tour with a colourful welcome in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. Our ship, Esperanza, is touring the region protecting forests and showing how deforestation contributes to climate change.
To avoid catastrophic climate change, we need revolution in the way we produce and use energy as well as a global effort to end forest destruction. Tropical forest destruction is responsible for about one-fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions – more than the world's entire transport sector.
Kila Oumabe, Beseremen clan, has experienced life at the hands of the loggers of the Turama Extension. She speaks out on behalf of all women living in the extension.
