Tenkile Conservation Alliance
Mission statement
The Tenkile Conservation Alliance (TCA) protects the Torricelli Mountain Range in Sandaun Province in Papua New Guinea (PNG). After 20+ years, TCA has built strong relationships with its' 43 stakeholder villages - those who hold the critically endangered (CR) Tenkile and Weimang tree kangaroos on their land. TCA also protects the CR Black-spotted Cuscus and Northern Glider. Our mission is 'saving lives in PNG' - people, culture and biodiversity. Recent work with technology and phone Apps has meant more species are being recorded.
