Just northeast of the northern coast of Australia lies a series of islands that make up what is known as the 'Melanesia sub-region'. The tropical marine waters of the Carol Triangle surround the Melanesian subregion and extend from the eastern border of the island of New Guinea in the northeast, extending to the southeast corner to include Fiji, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands. As a result, the Melanesian sub-region presents some of the most overlooked landscapes of modern times. At the heart of the Melanesian sub-region lies the second largest island in the world: New Guinea. The eastern part of the island of New Guinea together with the islands of Bougainville, New Britain and New Ireland describe the geographical borders of the country of Papua New Guinea (PNG). PNG is located along the tropical geographic region of the Pacific Ring of Fire, between 0° and 12° latitude, where it receives rainfall between 950 and 10,000 mm per year (map). This equatorial location along with favorable natural and anthropogenic conditions has allowed a large number of astonishing diversity of terrestrial vegetation to evolve and dictate the landscape of PNG. PNG's landscape is dominated by multiple ecological formations, mainly forests which cover 78% of the total area. Furthermore, PNG's terrestrial vegetation diversity begins with beach grasses on the coastal lines, moves inland to lowland rainforest, and ends with alpine forests on mountain peaks ( painting). For thousands of years, these rich terrestrial vegetations provided the habitat and protective features that were essential to the survival of the Papuan people. As a result, the vast majority of Papuan people (87...... middle of paper ......result in natural forests as well as non-forest formations which give PNG major values ​​and benefits. Namely , the landscape produces abundant benefits, sources of financial, environmental and social profits and values. These major benefits in turn attract a distinct group of stakeholders, namely foreign investors, local governments and environmentalists, each of whom. views landscape values ​​from entirely different perspectives. The difference in perspective between these different stakeholders highlights the urgent need for these groups to adopt a more collaborative management effort. This will in turn result in well-spoken dialogues. between these different stakeholder groups as they all move towards a prosperous, developed and sustainable Papua New Guinea...
