Forestry & Development E-News - 18th April, 2008


PNG Australia and PNG sign carbon partnership - The idea of bilateral agreements between Australia and Indonesia and Papua New Guinea to create a common market to trade carbon was floated in a report from the “Garnaut Review” which was released in March. This review is assessing what targets Australia should set to reduce emissions over time. It argued a regional carbon market could generate income for rural communities in these countries. They could sell permits generated by ceasing or reversing deforestation to carbon emitters in Australia.

Rare Sea Bird Rediscovered off PNG


PNG A rare sea bird not sighted since the 1920s and feared extinct has been rediscovered by a British expedition in waters off Papua New Guinea . The critically endangered Beck's petrel was re-discovered in the Bismarck Archipelago , in the south-west Pacific Ocean , north-east of Papua New Guinea. The Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club this week published a paper about the expedition by its leader, Israeli ornithologist and writer Hadoram Shirihai. Until Mr Shirihai's voyage in July and August last year, there were only two known specimens of the bird in the world, collected in 1928 and 1929 and held by the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

Professor Charles Veron - March 2008


PNG "The coral reefs of Kimbe Bay take me back forty years, to a time when corals grew in lush profusion, untroubled by all the problems that beset them today. A short boat ride from Walindi Resort and I am diving on reefs that have half of the coral species of the entire Indo-Pacific, all awaiting those rare photo opportunities that come only with the clearest water. I am hard-pressed to think of anywhere on Earth that has this combination of vibrant health, diversity and beauty.”

Kokoda Track Re-Opened 10th March 2008


PNG Kokoda Track landowners have agreed to reopen the war time trail to tourists after being given an ultimatum by the Papua New Guinea Government. Upset Kokoda track landowners closed the track last month in support of a proposed copper mine that would give them a better life. However spokesman Barney Jack says the landowners were given no choice by the PNG Government after it told them that no mining would be taking place. "We are left with no other option because the Government said there would be no mining, because of the environmental issues they keep telling us about," he said. The landowners are seeking a compensation package worth over $100 million.

Kokoda Track Authority Press Release


PNG The Kokoda Track has been closed at Naoro for the past two weeks by landowners of the Mt Kodu area in regard to frustrations over the delays experienced by the Australian exploration company, Frontier Resources Pty Ltd, being granted a renewal of their Exploration Licence, which expired over 18 months ago. The Naoro people are demanding “no mining exploration licence renewal then no trekking”. This is putting pressure on the PNG Government to give urgent attention to the renewal of the Exploration Licence to Frontier Resources. It should be noted that this is an Exploration Licence – not a Mining Lease, as exploration is still required to prove the gold and copper resource is of such magnitude to justify the expense of a mining operation. A satisfactory Environmental Impact Study and other environmental, social and economic issues will need to be approved before any Mining Lease is issued.

The land of adventure.

Papua New Guinea is arguably one of the most spectacularly beautiful countries on earth Papua New Guinea is situated to the near north of Australia and comprises the eastern half of the world’s largest island. Within is geographical boundaries lay several hundred offshore islands large and small, some with unique flora, fauna and many diverse primitive village cultures. Separated from The Indonesian state of West Papua, along the 141st meridian this young nation stretches into the Pacific Ocean and is bordered by the Coral Sea in the South and Micronesia to the North. Contained entirely within the hot tropics and surrounded by oceans, heavy rainfall and high temperatures throughout the year have combined to create one of the largest rainforest areas outside of the Amazon. Geologically it is relatively young and is undergoing continuous change as the earths movement and the many active volcanos sculpt the terrain with powerful tremors, ash and lava all along an east west, line of instability forming part of the “ring of fire” that reaches from Asia right across the Pacific Ocean.

The biological diversity of the flora and fauna that is encountered as one travels from the coastal regions across lowland flood plains of swamp, open grass and into the forested slopes and mountains offer visitors a seemingly unending variety of scenery. All the recognised species of “Birds of Paradise” are represented here and over ….other species of birdlife combined with the unique marsupial, mammal, insect and marine life combine to make PNG a very special place in the world of nature. With over seven hundred distinct languages spoken throughout the nation the human cultural aspects are without parallel in anthropological terms. From the earliest contact with the western world during the second half of the 19th Century many hundreds of studies have produced a diverse range literature on the people of this land as they journeyed through time from their primitive beginnings to the present day where the nation now takes it’s place in the 21st Century as a member of the world community.

With so much diversity of culture, scenery, flora and fauna it is little wonder that PNG offers the world so much as a travel destination. Tropical Beachside Hotels, cultural performances, spectacular scenery, Mountain Treks, Fishing, unequalled Scuba Diving, Bird Watching, World War 2 Historical sites and relics such as boats and aircraft (Balus), including the infamous Kokoda Trail where local tour companies provide guides for the adventurous trekker. From the bottom of it’s oceans to the highest mountain peaks it is all here. Although it is resource rich in terms of Gold, Copper, Oil, Gas and Timber, PNG is still a developing country and the majority of it’s population are subsistence farmers of one kind or another but their shyness, generosity, humour, and good nature leaves most visitors with glowing tales of their stay in this wonderful place with it’s warm and friendly people and rich cultures. Kina is the local currency used in Papua New Guinea and anyone travelling to the country should obtain some kina prior to travelling to PNG to be on the safe side. Eco-tourism or Eco-travel is a growing industry in Papua New Guinea, with a number of tour operators operating this exciting form of travel to the adventurous traveller. We hope that this site which include information regarding travel, tourism, employment, surfing, taxes, Airlines Of PNG, Air Niugini, mining, forum along with thousands of pictures of Papua New Guinea is of benefit to you when taking a vacation to Papua new Guinea.
