Differences were put aside on August 2, 2023, when Ameng and Munuiguwin clans from Simbukanam village agreed to work together to protect their land and natural resources.

The Bismark Ramu Group (BRG) has initially been supporting them through conservation awareness, resulting in the development and signing of an initial Conservation Deed.
