A Greenpeace team has been documenting the conditions in three Papua New Guinea (PNG) logging concessions revealing the negative effects logging is having on life in the area. According to the Greenpeace Australia Pacific Blog, the Greenpeace team spent two weeks documenting life and conditions in three Papua New Guinea (PNG) logging concessions, where they ‘visited remote villages in Gulf and Western Provinces where logging companies Rimbunan Hijau (RH) and Turama Forest Industries (TFI, a Rimbunan Hijau group company) are felling ancient rainforests and abusing their workers’.
