While the day of forests falls on March 21st every year, the Minister took time off on March 26th to visit Finschhafen.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, forests are home to about 80 percent of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity, with more than 60,000 tree species.
PNG alone holds one of the largest primary forests of the world.
Speaking at the Finschhafen Technical School, Minister Mori said this is why the conservation of our natural environment is important.
