TAKE ACTION!
Sir Michael Somare -- Papua New Guineas (PNG) Prime Minister -- jets soon to Copenhagen pledging to protect the countrys rainforests in exchange for REDD carbon money. Yet back home he has left a long list of shameful and corrupt rainforest/climate policies. As Copenhagen and REDD talks start, Somare pals Rimbunan Hijau of Malaysia continue logging in Ramu, Madang, despite a court order demanding they stop. Corruption, human rights abuses, and ecological devastation have no place in REDD or Papua New Guinea.
