Description

After decades of having its natural resource wealth exploited, Papua New Guinea is cracking down. Our guest today is Eddie Tanago, the Campaign Manager at ACT NOW, a PNG-based organization on the forefront against illegal logging and other destructive extractive industries. He discusses the recent historic fine imposed on a logging firm in PNG for tax evasion and the path forward to a truly people-centered development strategy.
