Forest under threat

Human activities such as alluvial mining, hunting, burning trees and bush in the PNG National Forestry Association (PNGNFA) plantation in Wau and Bulolo, Morobe, are threatening a part of the forest known as the green break, says a forestry official. PNGNFA assistant manager forest operations (plantations) Pilisi Arinaso said the green breaks were under threat due to increased human migration and settlements along the fringes of the two townships.
