	Where CI works in Melanesia
		Significantly larger and more biodiverse than the more famous Lorentz National Park, the Mamberamo region is almost entirely underdeveloped.
		By working closely with the provincial and local level governments, the CBC is developing this program as a model for ecosystem-wide development that can be applied in other parts of Papua New Guinea and throughout Melanesia.
		The largest and least-disturbed tropical humid forest catchment on the island of New Guinea is the Mamberamo Raya Basin - which essentially covers the entire northern watershed of western New Guinea.

	The denial of traditional land rights in West Papua
		From an Amungme perspective, the Lorentz Park represents another form of unwarranted and un-negotiated intrusion on their territories and a further infringement of their traditional rights, indistinguishable in many respects from the operations of Freeport or the timber companies.
		The discovery attracted both additional international scrutiny of the mine's environmental and social impacts and further interest from the Indonesian government, which declared the mine a strategic national asset and installed a permanent military detachment to guarantee its security.
		The establishment of the Freeport copper and gold mine on Amungme territory in the Central Highlands of West Papua in 1967 was the beginning of a long history of dispossession.
