2007-12-19 00:55:00 Many more species are probably yet to be found in pristine jungle in Indonesia?s Papua province, where two mammals believed to be new to science were discovered in June, an Indonesian zoologist and a conservationist said.Scientists found the two mammals ? a pygmy possum and a giant rat ? during an expedition involving Indonesian and American scientists in Papua?s Foja Mountains. In late 2005 the same team discovered dozens of new plants and animals on their first trip to the region. The Foja mountain range is part of the great Mamberamo Basin, the largest unroaded tropical forest in the Asia Pacific region, and has been described as a ?Lost World? because of its deep isolation.?Very few scientists have entered the area because of extremely difficult access. The likelihood of finding more new species is very high,? said Martua Sinaga, a zoologist from the Indonesian Institute of Sciences who took part in both expeditions.

The residents of the low-lying South Pacific atolls have given up their 20-year losing fight against rising seas and will be resettled elsewhere in Papua New Guinea. [From Pacific Islands Report:] The Carteret Islands are almost invisible on a map of the South Pacific, but the horseshoe scattering of atolls in eastern-most Papua New Guinea is on the front line of climate change, as rising sea levels and storm surges eat away at their existence.

Papua New Guineans Apologize for their Ancestors' Killing of Four Missionar
2007-08-16 21:50:00 Is it just me or does this make you angry too? The descendants of cannibals in Papua New Guinea, who killed and ate four Fijian missionaries in 1878, have said sorry for their forefathers' actions. They held a ceremony of reconciliation, attended by thousands, in the East New Britain province where the four died. The missionaries were part of a group of Methodist ministers and teachers who arrived in 1875 to spread Christianity. Their murder three years later, by the Tolai tribespeople on the Gazelle Peninsula, sparked angry reprisals. The head of the mission, English pastor George Brown, avenged the killings by taking part in an expedition that resulted in the deaths of a number of tribespeople and the torching of several villages. Ten commandments Candles were lit in remembrance of the four killed missionaries as thousands attended the ceremony in East New Britain. Fiji's High Commissioner in PNG, Ratu Isoa Tikoca, accepted the apologies on behalf of the descendants. "We at this...
