A demonstration of a mobile saw mill. The village received the mill as part of the Global Forest Rescue Station project.
At the request of locals, Greenpeace sets up the Global Forest Rescue Station (GFRS) to help the indigenous people with ‘boundary marking’ to protect their homeland. This will give these people more control over their land and is part of a programme of community solutions work which also involves other initiatives such as initiating self-reliance and small-scale eco-enterprises so that locals can establish their own businesses in the area. Already logging companies have acquired 70 per cent of the available forest resource in Papua New Guinea.
