Humans have always had a co-existing relationship with Mother Nature yet it is staggering how much we take from her yet give so little to sustain it.
Scheduling incremental actions to build a comprehensive national protected area network for Papua New Guinea
Systematic conservation planning identifies priority areas to cost-effectively meet conservation targets. Yet, these tools rarely guide wholesale declaration of reserve systems in a single time step due to financial and implementation constraints. Rather, incremental scheduling of actions to progressively build reserve networks is required. To ensure this incremental action is guided by the original plan, and thus builds a reserve network that meets all conservation targets, strategic scheduling, and iterative planning is needed.
After successfully stopping one sand mining project, Papua New Guinea environmentalists now want the government to tighten the rules around the industry. The environmental group, Mas Kagin Tapani, advocated for the more than 10,000 who lived in communities along a 38 kilometre stretch of the

A group of people in Morobe, opposed to the use of the deep sea tailing placement (DSTP) system of waste disposal in the Wafi-Golpu copper and gold project, wants the Government to listen to them.
Minimizing cross-realm threats from land-use change: A national-scale conservation framework connecting land, freshwater and marine systems
There is a growing recognition that conservation strategies should be designed accounting for cross-realm connections, such as freshwater connections to land and sea, to ensure effectiveness of marine spatial protection and minimize perverse outcomes of changing land-use. Yet, examples of integration across realms are relatively scarce, with most targeting priorities in a single realm, such as marine or freshwater, while minimizing threats originating in terrestrial ecosystems.
The campaign against deep sea mining in the Bismarck sea by the Alliance of Solwara Warriors (ASW) still continues. Concerned citizens who make up the llaince in East New Britan and New ireland provinces, declared this is Kokopo this week.
