The Community Land Management project was funded due to the ecological and social intergrity of the catchment that was and is threatened by proposals for large scale logging. The extensive rainforests, karst landscape and the montane Gondwanic rainforest that provide a diverse and unique habit to all forms af plants and animal and the sparse human population whose existense depend on the surrounding environment. The project implementation would result in a team, developed of community animators that can be capable of organising and mobilising target communities to establish a regime of planning for community land management across the Bosavi catchments.
