The Forests of Papua New Guinea
Today on Earth Matters we speak with Darren Gladman of Environment Victoria
about the forests of Papua New Guinea. Recently Darren spent 18 months in
Papua New Guinea (PNG) as the Forest Campaign Coordinator for the Worldwide
Fund for Nature.=20
Firstly we hear about the history of logging in PNG, as well as the types
of forest present throughout the country. In the 1980s industrial logging
greatly increased throughout PNG, while in recent years external factors
such as the Asian economic crisis and the World Bank have slowed the
destruction down.=20
We also speak to Darren about the social importance of forests for
communities throughout PNG and the presence of community timber mills and
logging. Finally we hear about the Eco Forestry Forum and learn of the
roles of the PNG Government and the Australian Government in the future
prospects for sustainability in PNG's forests.
The interview is split in to 3 sections for those who may wish to play
parts of it.
