Wangbin Primary School Celebrate World Environment Day

-
Wangbin Primary School Tabubil, Western Province, today celebrated World Environment Day with activities that lasted the whole day.

The students and teachers were out in full force with activities such as Poem reading, environmental song performance, poster and drawing displays and so forth.


















Here are lyrics of a song that was sung at the occasion by the grade 5 pupils. It is called Environment and was written by Mr Neville Unduko, an expressive arts teacher.

Song: Environment

Verse 1



Tree in the highlands, trees in the lowlands

Trees here and there and tress everywhere

Grow them for us and take care of them

Our Motherland, make PNG Pride



Chorus

Our country, our habitat

Our land of beautiful environment

Our souls and minds of our people

My land, my life my all



Verse 2

The plants on the tress, insects alike

Butterflies, bees and beetles and bugs

Grow them for us and take care of them

Our motherland, make PNG Pride



Written by Mr Neville Unduko

I thoroughly enjoyed being amongst these kids and I think more emphasis should be put in by parents and community elders to educate children on the importance of caring for our environment especially at a time like these where there is a boom with regard to our extracting our natural resources for the sake of development.

OK Tedi Mining Limited’s presence was there through Rehab. & Mine Closure Officer from the Environment Department, Dexter. Wagambie.


Mr Wagambie outlined the importance of the theme & how these many species affect the livelihood of everyone in the communities and also the environmental responsibility the company has. He also outlined what they could do to care and preserve the environment.

By Dennis Badi and John Brooksbank THE forests were the reason Pierre Dhorne came to PNG in 2006. He was in the country to review a logging proposal and its likely impact on the Foe speaking people of Lake Kutubu. Whilst the outcome of his study was in some ways predictable, the three months that he and fellow French masters student Laure Miaillier spent amongst local communities ended up being a remarkable experience for the couple. The WWF Kikori River Programme, based in Moro, hosted the students whilst they helped its project field staff develop a catchment management plan for the area surrounding Lake Kutubu, identifying threats to the region and gathering baseline scientific data. Lake Kutubu is the highest freshwater lake in Papua New Guinea, situated at an altitude of 808 metres. The lake was created after an early volcanic eruption blocked off a Highlands valley, resulting in the isolated evolution of its fish population. The lake supports an astonishing diversity of creat

 Hi all it's been a while since I blogged.  Kinda got busy do other things and this just took the backseat, so I have more time on my hands now so I thought I'd return and write something. Alot has been happening and I really don't know where to start. But one thing that comes immediately to my mind is the recent Landowner Benefit Identification (LOBID) process that is in progress right now in the Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea. The  LOBID process is an important process to ensure the landowners of the Papua LNG project are recognised to benefit from this multimillion kina project. In fact the process is underway as I write this.  This is the verifying stage where all ILG lists are confirmed before it goes to the Development Forum where the Minister for Petroleum and Energy announces or makes the Ministerial Determination. An interesting time in the lives of the people directly affected by the pipeline as well as the wellhead up in the hinterlands of the Baimuru LLG in t
