WCS PNG Celebrates World Environment Day with Students in Manus Province
As part of the ongoing Kiwa WISH+ Project, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Papua New Guinea team marked World Environment Day 2025 by engaging with over 500 students and teachers across four schools in Manus Province.
Celebrations took place at Londru and Lohii Primary Schools on the South Coast of Manus, and East Lorengau and Lorengau Christian Academy in Lorengau town.
The focus of the events was to raise awareness and promote community engagement on key environmental issues, including:
- Reducing plastic pollution
- Improving watershed management
- Responding to climate change
Students participated in a variety of activities, from interactive presentations and group discussions to art displays and storytelling. These educational sessions aimed to equip young people with the knowledge and enthusiasm to care for their environment.
This initiative is part of WCS’s broader commitment to community-led conservation and climate resilience, supported through the Kiwa Initiative, which empowers local communities in the Pacific with NbS.
