I have lived in several Melanesian countries and having seen the Koreans / Chinese in action logging and just running busineeses in PNG, the Solomons and Vanuatu I cannot but help sympathise with these guys.
The most relevent case in point is perhaps in the Solomons.The heartening thing here is these people are articulate and come across as decent people, not some rabid mob of animals like you see in Australia, the UK or the US!
I'm not Melanesian but I lived in a Melanesian country, New Caledonia, and I'm steeped in this culture, this magnificent culture. I have never seen such people, very welcoming, especially in Europe, people are so unfriendly !
Very good initiative. Don't forget the Melanesian Brothers of West-Papua and Maluku Islands who are still being occupied and oppressed by the Asians (Indonesia, mainly Javanese).
Love the energy, passion and interests that has been shown by the attendants! I hope some sort of strong ongoing monitoring system or network has been put implace to overlook the sustainability of what their outcome might have been! good stuff olgeta, bae mifala helpem yufala blo pusum ol tinktink iko foret!
Stand up for your rights Melanesia! dont let foriegn companies (especially logging ones) destroy the forrests and leave you ith nothing but mud and sticks, while they profit. land is much more precious than money!!!!
