Well it's been awhile since I've written something. Maybe because I've been moving around so much, I didn't seem to have the time to write up something. Anyway, I am now in Tabubil, Western Province, Papua New Guinea. I work as a Broadcaster with Radio Fly, a radio station that services the OKTEDI Mining Limited staff & contractors as well as the communities that benefit directly or indirectly from the resource. It's been what, four months now since I joined and it's been good so far. I must admit it is quite different from commercial radio but it's a different challenge at that.

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...
