Dialogue

The event aimed to discuss lessons learned and good practices in conservation in PNG, as well as to exchange collective efforts to address environmental and climate challenges.

The Protected Areas Policy was endorsed by the Government in 2014. To ensure its effective implementation, the government – through the Conservation and Environment Protection Authority (CEPA formerly known as the Department of Environment and Conservation) – is hosting public consultation to seek inputs for the implementation plan and legal framework progressing the Policy document.
