Establishing new protected areas in Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea has committed to expanding its network of protected areas, and its Policy on Protected Areas
clearly outlines the guidelines and targets for the network. Work over recent years has defined some priorities for
selecting areas for a comprehensive reserve system, and in addition many landowners wish to conserve their land and waters.

This document outlines the process of proposal, assessment, negotiation and declaration for new protected areas in Papua New Guinea. The process needs to be meet legislative requirements but must be as efficient and streamlined as possible and should not cause unnecessary delays.
