Abstract

The 2014 State of the Forests report documents substantial changes in PNG's forests over the period 2002-2014. The main driver of this change was the industrial logging industry both through the degradation of primary rainforest to secondary logged forest, and the conversion of forest to other non-forest land cover types such as cleared land and scrub.
