Because Papua New Guinea is one of the largest intact rainforest regions in the world, it’s a hub of biodiversity. The island of New Britain is included in a possible future UNESCO World Heritage site as it is home to many rare and endangered wildlife species and has an intact rainforest environment. While the Goshawk sighting is especially exciting, many other uncommon exotic species call the area home.
WWF is hoping to cultivate a relationship with the local community to protect the Goshawk and other rare species on the island. The locals have a vested interest in conservation efforts, as their culture, as well as their physical well-being, is tied to the environment in the rainforest region. Creating a community-led program for conservation could help to overcome some of the obstacles facing international conservation efforts.
