<p>Papua New Guinea has 7% of the world’s biodiversity and an incredibly rich cultural and linguistic diversity. For centuries, its Indigenous communities have developed traditional knowledge and practices that supported their way of management of natural resources. Since gaining independence in 1975, some efforts have been made to conserve unique species and the enviroment using external approaches.</p><p>In this seminar, Miriam will reflect on some of the challenges of doing conservation in Papua New Guinea, the need for training Indigenous scientists, building strong local institutions, and supporting community-based approaches to conservation.</p><p><br></p><h3>Event Speaker</h3><p><a href="https://www.synchronicityearth.org/about-us/our-people/" title="https://www.synchronicityearth.org/about-us/our-people/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Miriam Supuma</a>, Programme Manager at Synchronicity Earth</p><p><br></p><h3>Event Information</h3><p>Free and open to the public; registration required.
