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.

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

Papua New Guinea is truly a beautiful place. If we keep a positive, patriotic attitude we can preserve our country's natural resources for generations to come. This is taken off the Nature Conservancy website. You can help protect the world's most beautiful and diverse habitats when you Adopt a Coral Reef today. One of the most biologically diverse marine environments on the planet, Kimbe Bay is home to a wealth of colorful hard and soft corals, 12 different species of marine mammals and hundreds of species of fish. In fact, scientists have recorded at least 860 species of coral reef fish in Kimbe Bay and more than half of the world's coral species can be found here. The bay's wide variety of marine habitats — coral reefs, mangroves, seagrasses, deep ocean waters and seamounts —make it an ideal home for whales, dolphins, turtles and sharks. A World under Threat Kimbe Bay is a prime target for exploitation by the destructive international live reef fish tr
