Campaign Launch: Celebrating and Defending Customary Land
Submitted by ACTNOW on Tue, 17/04/2018 - 09:50ACT NOW! is today launching a new multi-media campaign titled 'Celebrating and Defending Customary Land'.
Why?
Well customary land is the most valuable asset available to most Papua New Guineans but its role and importance is often misunderstood or misrepresented, particularly by outsiders.
Too few people realise customary land supports an economy estimated to be worth K40 billion a year, provides jobs and incomes for 3 million farmers and provides housing and a sense of community for more than 7 million people.
