Papua New Guinea is a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity since the Rio Earth Summit in 1992.
The workshop will also discuss the protected area implementation plan and the National Biodiversity Strategic Action Plan (NBSAP).
The plan and the Protected Area Bill will become the main vehicle to implement the PNG Policy on Protected Areas, which was endorsed by the National Executive Council in early December 2014.
Together the policy and the plan will improve PNG’s implementation of the NBSAP.
