The project involves mapping a conservation area located in Huon District, Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. The main objective is to conduct an in-depth environmental impact assessment to comprehensively understand the area's ecological status and potential challenges. By analyzing the environmental data, the project aims to identify existing environmental damage, assess climate change risks, and propose sustainable conservation measures to address these issues.
The mapping and assessment of the conservation area will contribute significantly to SDG 13 - Climate Action. Through the accurate analysis of environmental data, potential environmental damage can be mitigated, climate change impacts can be addressed, and informed decisions can be made to ensure the area's long-term sustainability and resilience.
By conducting a thorough environmental impact assessment, the project will not only protect the local biodiversity and natural resources but also benefit the local communities in the region. Empowering the community with comprehensive data on the area's environmental status will enable them to make informed decisions about sustainable resource management and conservation practices.
MDF requires the support of two highly motivated Online Volunteers who have background in environmental engineering and GIS to conduct survey and support an environmental impact assessment report on a conservation area located in Huon District of Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea.
Specifically, Online Volunteers will be assigned to support the interpretation of maps, conducting literature reviews, and interpreting water and soil laboratory reports.
The Online Volunteers will receive a certificate after the completion of the task and will be issued a reference from MDF PNG.
Must have a degree in environmental engineering and GIS, and must be able to conduct environmental impact assessment. Able to write an environmental impact assessment report. PhD students in a relevant discipline are encouraged to apply. Volunteers must have knowledge of GEE coding and Landsat Mapping.
