Solution

The Woodland Park Zoo, supported by Beauval Nature, today protects over 160,000 hectares of forest in Papua New Guinea, thanks to a team of locally recruited rangers selected by the landowners themselves.

Also, in order to avoid excessive harvesting of natural resources such as timber, the association advises forest and agricultural operators and supports sustainable production (cocoa, coffee).
