Rangers are key to the conservation of culture and biodiversity of Papua New Guinea. They assist in delivering community benefits and increased capacity, to the most remote and disadvantaged parts of the country.
Ranger programmes need to be strongly supported by local communities, and relevant to the culture and tradition of Papua New Guinea. These reports provide greater insight and support into the process of establishing a successful ranger programme.
A national assessment of protected area management in 2017 discovered limited progress in management effectiveness. As a result, significant support has been placed on strengthening management functions. Balancing the conservation of PNG’s unique biodiversity heritage against the pressures of a growing population, changing climate, and industrial exploitation requires data-driven natural resource management (NRM) policies and management.
Papua New Guinea is one of only a few countries to adapt the global METT to their unique context. Experience of local stakeholders as managers has shaped the tool into the new PNG-METT, providing best practices for improving the resilience and effectiveness of PA management in the country.
The NRM Hub’s tools gather data from a variety of sources, to assist with project planning, reporting and evaluation of natural resource management processes. This includes a variety of use cases such as collecting data from communities in protected areas, making global spatial data available for mapping at the local level and sharing data in new ways through interactive articles and visualizations.
The app is a mobile data collection application for collecting conservation and biodiversity data in PNG’s protected areas. Its design enables communities all over PNG to record and report a wide range of information for better planning, advocacy, and investment priortization.
