Asia-Pacific Regional Press Freedom Seminar Country Report - Papua New Guinea The Papua New Guinea Media Council of comprised of nine members, six are media outlets and three are media and advertising agencies. The current President is Mr. Peter John Aitsi, General Manager of PNGFM - a commercial radio station. He is continuing the the good work initiated by the two former Presidents. The Media Council was originally set up to protect the interest of the media organizations, it was as a vehicle to share information about possible "bad accounts". Over the years the focus of the Council has widened significantly to address aspects of improving the performance of the media as a whole. This focus has taken the form of industry wide training courses, and the uniformity of approach by the media houses in tackling common goals. The Media Council Board is made up of members of the various media organizations, and has established a specific working committee that concentrates on identify and facilitating training opportunities for the people within the industry. The training courses developed and made available to University Students, the general public and other interested groups that may wish to take part. The long-term focus of the Council is to continue to encourage and develop the professionalism within the industry by the media houses and the people that choose media as a career. The principal is to develop better quality performance by our people and our organisations to ensure the interests of the People of Papua New Guinea are protected by a responsible, active, free media.

home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Papua New Guinea Environment Papua New Guinea lies south of the equator and north of Australia. It's the last of a string of islands spilling down from South-East Asia into the Pacific, and comprises the eastern half of the island of New Guinea and a collection of surrounding islands. The country is dominated by a central spine of mountains, the Owen Stanley Range, with many peaks over 4000m (13,120ft). Three quarters of PNG is covered by tropical rainforests, and the remainder is made up of delta plains, flat grassland and mangrove swamps. The principal rivers include the Fly, Sepik and Ramu. The major islands of New Ireland, Bougainville and New Britain are surrounded by striking coral formations and are often scenes of unpredictable natural violence (in 1994, the once-beautiful New Britain town of Rabaul was destroyed by the Tuvurvur eruption). There are close to 9000 species of plants in PNG, most of them found in lowland rainforests. Around 250 species of mammals live in the islands, mostly bats and rats, but also including marsupials such as the tree kangaroo. There are also two kinds of echidnas (spiny anteaters). The real treat however is the 700 species of birds. There are more parrot, pigeon and kingfisher species - from huge crowned pigeons to delicate pygmy parrots - than anywhere else in the world. Other notable birds are giant cassowaries, kokomos (hornbills) and cockatoos. The highlights of the insect kingdom are the world's largest butterfly, the Queen Alexandra Birdwing (the first collected specimen was felled by a shotgun blast), and scarab beetles (which are often used as body ornaments).

Australia/Pacific : Papua New Guinea Papua New Guinea History It is believed that Papua New Guinea was originally inhabited by Asian settlers over 50,000 years ago. The first European contact in 1526-27 was by the Portuguese explorer Jorge de Meneses, who named the island Ilhas dos Papuas (Island of the Fuzzy Hairs). The Spaniard Inigo Ortiz de Retes later called it New Guinea because he thought the people similar to those of Guinea in Africa. Further exploration followed, including landings by Bougainville, Cook, Stanley and John Moresby. A large, rather daunting place, New Guinea was left alone for several centuries, with only the Dutch making any effort to assert European authority over the island. But in 1824, the Dutch (seeking to shore up their profitable Dutch East Indies empire) formalised their claims to sovereignty over the western portion of the island. Germany followed, taking possession of the northern part of the territory in 1884. A colonial troika was completed three days later when Britain declared a protectorate over the southern region; outright annexation occurred four years later.

Should you need further or specific information, send me an e-mail at skyfdn@hotmail.com or skyuimb@hotmail.com. Thanks and Welcome to "the land of the unexpected!" Trekking Types: There are two obvious categories of rainforest trekking. First category is one where you trek in a developed, managed, and well-kept rainforests. Normally, this kind of rainforest treks have some aspect of human intervention in the development and maintainance so as to continously attract tourism revenues. Often, rainforest treks developed in the tropics to attrack tourism causes a substantial amount of disruption the the nature's own settings. Second category, which Papua New Guinea is notoriously known for, is untouched tribal trekking routes for hunting and inter-tribal linkage routes. These tropical rainforest treks are not developed, not originally (and currently) intended for tourism (although tourists are encouraged to discover!), and remain untouched of its natural settings.

Papua New Guinea's most immediate concern after independence was its relations with powerful neighbor Indonesia. After Indonesia's takeover of Irian Jaya, many West Papuans organized a guerrilla resistance movement - Organisasi Papua Merdeka (OPM) - which fought Indonesian forces with limited success. Tensions decreased markedly after 1985, as the flow of refugees (estimated at over 10,000) between Irian Jaya and PNG slowed. There are still 7500 Irian Jayan refugees living in camps in Western Province - the largest expatriate group in the country.

Man and Culture in Oceania Vol. 12 Education and Society in Papua New Guinea: Toward Independence 1945-1975. Wayne FIFE St. Thomas University, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada E3B 5G3. This paper considers the role of education and the developing cash economy in the formation of Papua New Guinean society between the years 1945-1975. Between 1945 and 1960, the Australian territorial administration continued policies that ensured the unequal educational and economic participation of indigenous and expatriate populations in the country that had begun before the war years. After 1960, the push toward independence helped to create conditions that led to the increasing development of inequalities between sub-populations of Papua New Guineans themselves. The present work outlines the conditions that made this transformation not only possible but inevitable.

Other Places in South Pacific Austral Islands Cook Islands Easter Island ... Vanuatu Islands Papua New Guinea: Overview Papua New Guinea is one of the world's most naturally beautiful countries. Soaring mountain peaks, unspoiled beaches, lush rainforests, unique flora and fauna and the cultural richness of the people combine to make Papua New Guinea an increasingly popular destination for tourists. There is already a well established infrastructure catering successfully for many types of visitor packages but the potential for expansion and improvement is limitless. The Government has targeted tourism as a priority area for the economic development of the country and for the creation of employment opportunities at rural and urban levels. With the kina at a more reasonable level of exchange since its devaluation and float, Papua New Guinea's many enchanting and remarkable destinations can be within the sights and budgets of many adventurers. The development and expansion of tourism in Papua New Guinea is assisted by the Tourism Promotion Authority (TPA), a statutory organisation established by the Government. The TPA is well equipped with substantial industry knowledge to respond to tourism enquiries. Its activities are mainly directed at the marketing of Papua New Guinea as a tourist destination and as a safe location for hospitality investment. In line with other development policies, the Government continues to ensure the cultural, social and environmental resources of the country are safeguarded and investment in tourism may attract some degree of interest from the relevant agencies, including, among others, the Department of Environment and Conservation.

Papua New Guinea Bill to stabilise parliament delayed Papua New Guinea prime minister staves off leadership challenge By Will Marshall 15 November 2000 Use this version to print Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Sir Mekere Morauta has been rebuffed in his efforts to push through the Organic Law on the Integrity of Political Parties and Candidates Bill, the purpose of which was to meet the demands of global investors and financial markets for stable political rule. Having just survived a move from within his own party to oust him, Mekere was last weekend forced to negotiate a formal pact with his five coalition partners to secure the passage of the national budget this month and to then adjourn parliament until mid-2001 to block any no-confidence motion. Mekere conceded that the agreement effectively shelves the Integrity Bill until next year at least. PNG is notorious for highly complex, unstable coalitions and no-confidence motions that have toppled governments as MPs switched from one party to another looking for the most lucrative offers in return for their support. Since Australia granted formal independence in 1975, not one government has endured a full term in office.

AGCRC Project No: Australia's Northern Margin: Basement structure controls on convergent margin mineral deposits. Introduction Currently active convergent margins host many of the world's richest porphyry-style copper-gold and epithermal gold-silver deposits. The northern Australian convergent margin hosts the major porphyry systems of Grasberg, Ok Tedi and Panguna, and the major epithermal deposits of Porgera and Lihir. Comparable deposits in the Andes include the Chuquicamata, El Teniente, La Escondida and Alumbrera porphyry deposits, and the El Indio epithermal gold belt. We aim to approach this problem via a study of the young and relatively well preserved convergent margin setting of Papua New Guinea. The margin hosts the world class porphyry and epithermal deposits listed above, which range in age from mid-Miocene to Recent, and were formed during long-lived volcanism and deformation resulting from the collision of the Indo-Australian and Pacific plates. Figure 1: Structure and Mineralisation in Papua New Guinea (more information) Figure 2: Location of inferred transfer structures in the PNG Highlands. The location of the transfer structures is interpreted from truncations of the pre-Papuan Fold Belt-development extensional faults. The locations of the major Cu-Au and Au deposits are also shown.

Victories Since Greenpeace Australia Pacific began, we have secured many environmental wins. Here are just some of our recent victories. The Maisin people of Collingwood Bay, Papua New Guinea, celebrate a court victory over the loggers who tried to steal their land. Greenpeace, the Environmental Law Centre and other organisations assisted with the three-year legal battle. Following intense negotiation, the Australian government declares the world's largest "no-take" marine reserve at Heard Island. Greenpeace began campaigning for the reserve in 2000. The Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, Sir Mekere Morauta, publicly states: "... the Kiunga-Aiambak project, involving Concord Pacific Ltd and a landowner company, should never have occurred". Greenpeace began campaigning to stop Kiunga Aiambak in the mid-1990s. Following three years of Greenpeace lobbying, the Federal government nominates patagonian toothfish for listing under appendix II of CITES.
