PNG‘s forests are the third largest, and some of the most diverse, on Earth. Yet 60% of PNG's ancient forests have already been lost to industrial and illegal logging and now there is a new threat to the forests that remain. The recent rollout of over 5 million hectares of agricultural leases - known as Special Agriculture and Business Leases (SABLs) - cover about 20% of the country’s forests and represent one of the worst contemporary cases of cultural land grabs. They will decimate PNG’s remaining forests and biodiversity unless they are overturned. Greenpeace is in Pomio at the request of customary landowners who are fighting to hold on to their land and forests.
