Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program is a signature program of Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, WA. They work in partnership with local communities in rural Papua New Guinea to protect the endangered Matschie's tree kangaroo and its habitat. Their efforts include establishing the country's first nationally-recognized Conservation Area, addressing local needs such as livelihoods, health, and education, and promoting community-based conservation as a national model in Papua New Guinea.
The Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program, in collaboration with TKCP-PNG, an independent non-governmental organization registered in Papua New Guinea, focuses on wildlife and habitat conservation, supporting local community livelihoods, and conducting scientific research. They also engage in cultural exchanges and partnerships with Indigenous peoples, such as the Lummi Nation, to share conservation victories and traditions. Through their work, they aim to make a lasting difference by addressing the needs of both wildlife and the local people, while assisting the government in protecting the rich biodiversity and culture of Papua New Guinea.
