Improve knowledge of floral and faunal diversity in the Baining Mountains on the island of New Britain in Papua New Guinea through a biodiversity survey expedition. Results and findings will inform the development of an action plan for conservation of the threatened species found in this Key Biodiversity Area. Local experts will also be involved and the knowledge and skills gained will help to strengthen their capacity.

Strategic Direction: 1 Empower local communities to protect and manage globally significant biodiversity at priority Key Biodiversity Areas under-served by current conservation efforts
