Background |
|
Papua New Guinea (PNG) has one of the most significant areas of largely-intact tropical forest in the world, although these forests appear to be facing acute and imminent threats. Forests are also a vital resource for the local population particularly in the remote rural areas of PNG, providing food, fibre, building materials, and support a variety of wildlife and ecosystem services. The Papua New Guinea Forest Authority (PNGFA) estimates that approximately 60% of the total area of the country is covered by natural forests, of which 52% are considered production forests (for timber and other products), and 48% are for conservation (not for timber extraction due to inaccessibility or ecological constraints). A mechanism for Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) being developed through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) provides an opportunity to support Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) efforts to reduce levels of deforestation and help to maintain and protect its natural forest. PNG has been a leading proponent of REDD+ at the international level, and was one of the original UN-REDD Programme’s "pilot" countries. With PNG’s UN-REDD National Programme coming to an end in 2015, a World Bank funded Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) project was initiated in early 2015 to support PNG through its advanced REDD+ readiness stages and begin the piloting of field activities. While REDD+ readiness activities are progressing in the country, there is a need to make information on these activities easily available to a wide range of stakeholders. Development of an effective website will enable the Government of PNG to easily communicate action on REDD+ as well as providing opportunities to gain feedback from stakeholders. Linking this site with data collected on changes in forest cover and social and environmental factors will also help to provide a transparent mechanism to display changes within the forest sector. In order to develop this website and interface an experienced web designer is required to support the project by developing a website through which information on PNG’s forests can be shared nationally and internationally.
