Papua New Guinea’s Department of Environment and Conservation is currently undertaking a national marine gap analysis to contribute towards their commitment under the Convention on Biological Diversity to establish a “comprehensive, effectively managed and ecologically-representative national system of protected areas.” The gap analysis will identify conservation priorities throughout Papua New Guinea’s marine area to inform protected area planning, environmental impact assessment and other biodiversity conservation interventions.

The Environmental Monitor Series is prepared for countries of the World Bank's East Asia and Pacific Region and presents a snap-shot of key environmental trends in the countries to enable them to identify environmental aspects of national development that need attention in the years ahead. Environmental Monitor 2002 is the first of in the Monitor series which aim to engage and inform stakeholders of key environmental issues.
The document provides an in-depth analysis of the socio-cultural aspects of ABS; international aspects of ABS; the relevant policy and legal framework associated with ABS in PNG; research and development and ABS; and intellectual property rights aspects of ABS
This paper provides an overview of the ways in which villagers have intensified agricultural systems in Papua New Guinea, focusing on the last 60 years.
This 18 paged document is a series of publications which include the full proceedings of research workshops, organised symposia or supported by ACIAR. Numbers in this series are distributed internationally to selected individuals and scientific institutions.
This 3 paged paper outlines the research focused on maternal deaths and its impacts on PNG children. Research paper was published by Auckland University's Centre of Development Studies as part of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health
A conservation planning study in Papua New Guinea (PNG) addresses the role of
biodiversity surrogates and biodiversity targets, in the context of the trade-offs required
for planning given real-world costs and constraints. In a trade-offs framework, surrogates
must be judged in terms of their success in predicting general biodiversity
complementarity values – the amount of additional biodiversity an area can contribute to
a protected set. Wrong predictions of low complementarity (and consequent allocation of
The purpose of used lubricants and oil audit was to execute assessments on activities and services of organizations under sectors responsible in generating used lubricants and oil or its wastes in any regard. Used lubricants and oil (ULO) audit/ survey and inventory was executed under the requirements expected from the environmental audit protocol.

A rapid biodiversity assessment ("BioRap") project identified candidate areas for
biodiversity protection in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and provides an ongoing
evaluation framework for balancing biodiversity conservation and other land use
needs. Achieving a biodiversity protection target with minimum opportunity cost was
an important outcome given that biodiversity values overlap with forestry production
values, and high forgone forestry opportunities would mean significant losses to land
This publication is a consolidated list of protected fauna of Papua New Guinea, compiled from Fauna (Protection and Control) Act 1976 and the subsequent amendments. Fauna (Protection and Control) Act was enacted in 1966 and amalgamated into the revised laws in 1976 after the independence of PNG. This Act is solely confined to protecting animals (birds and mammals). The protected species listing under the Fauna (Protection and Control) Act is done by the National Gazette notifications. All protected fauna are the property of the State.
This report describes some of the challenges for biodiversity planning arise from a study in Papua New Guinea, but apply equally to biodiversity planning in general. These are;
* the best use of available data for providing biodiversity surrogate information
* the integration of representatives and persistence goals into the area prioritization process
* implications for the implementation of a conservation plan over time.

This report contributes to the development of a marine gap analysis for Papua New Guinea’s marine area. ” The gap analysis identifies conservation priorities throughout Papua New Guinea’s marine area to inform protected area
planning, environmental impact assessment and other biodiversity conservation interventions.
