The logs wait in Paia Port waterways - prevented from being loaded onto the 'Harbour Gemini' ship, occupied by Greenpeace activists, in the rainforests of the 'Turama extension' logging concession, Paia port, Gulf Province. These forests are being felled by Turama Forest Industries - a group company of Malaysian logging giant Rimbunan Hijau. In 1995, the Papua New Guinea government granted 1.7 million hectares as a logging ‘extension’ to Turama Forest Industries – the extension was almost 10 times bigger than the original concession. The timber permit for this new concession, called Turama Extension is valid for 35 years (until 2030).Locations:Oceania-Papua New GuineaDate:4 Sep, 2008Credit:© Greenpeace / Jeremy Sutton-HibbertMaximum size:4368px X 2912pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Aerial view-Barges-Cargo ships-Day-Deforestation-Destruction-Forests (campaign title)-Illegal logging-KWCI (GPI)-Outdoors-Painting actions-Timber-Timber industry-TreesShoot:Deforestation Documentation Papua New GuineaThe Greenpeace ship Esperanza arrived in Jakarta to help launch the Forests for Climate initiative, Greenpeace’s pioneering solution to reduce deforestation, tackle climate change, preserve global biodiversity, and protect the livelihoods of millions of forest-dependent people.
