  • A view of the of the Bairaman river and surrounding forest East New Britain province, Papua New Guinea. PNG‘s forests are the third largest, and some of the most diverse, on Earth. They support many cultures - over 12% of the world’s existing languages are spoken there - and a rich diversity of plant and animal  species. A recent report revealed that more than 1,000 new species have been discovered on the island of New Guinea and scientists say this is just scratching the surface of what is yet to be discovered.<br />
<br />
Devastatingly, this rich diversity of life is being lost at an alarming rate. Over 60% of PNG’s intact forests have already been destroyed by logging and industrial agriculture and the loss continues today.<br />
<br />
The World Bank estimates 70% of logging in PNG is illegal and the United Nations has questioned PNG on the recent rollout of over 5 million hectares of agricultural leases. These leases - known as Special  Agriculture and Business Leases (SABLs) - cover about 20% of the country’s forests. Representing one of the worst contemporary cases of cultural land grabs, they will decimate PNG’s remaining forests and  biodiversity unless they are overturned. Photo: Paul Hilton / Greenpeace

  • Children are pictured infront of the school at Lau Village, West Pomio district, East New Britian province, 25th October 2011. This village is at the frontline of a massive land grab that sees 5.2 million hectares of PNG's forests slated for destruction. Under a lease system called special-purpose agriculture and business leases (SABLs), customary landowners will lose their land for 99 years and their forests forever. The communities in Pomio rely on the forests for food security, building materials and their future livelihoods. Logging companies promise development and much needed services but all they deliver are dirty rivers and destroyed forests. The customary landowners are asking the new PNG government to choose the rights of the people over the profits of big multi-national logging companies. Photo: Paul Hilton/Greenpeace
