		Mamberamo is also being promoted as a future food supply centre of national importance, with possibly a million hectares set aside for rice cultivation to be irrigated from the dam scheme.
		The Mamberamo development is part of the rush to develop the eastern part of the occupied areas and fill them with huge numbers of Indonesians to make it harder to justify claims for independence.
		Six thousand people living near the river will be moved from their forest home to a new town, with the descent into squalour, alcoholism and prostitution that inevitably accompanies such forced relocations.

	Lower Mamberamo - The Warembori
		The Warembori language (locally: Waremboivoro) is spoken by the inhabitants of three villages along the northern coast of Irian Jaya, at and to the west of the mouth of the Mamberamo river, split between the districts (kabupaten) of Yapen-Waropen and Jayapura.
		The language is one of two known members of the Lower Mamberamo family; it is unlikely that there will prove to be any additional members of this small family, given what we know of the language situation in the region.
		Although it is not a member of a large genetic grouping, it is subject to some wide areal influences that are felt along the Mamberamo river, and is furthermore the subject of extensive Austronesian influence, seen at all levels of its grammar.
