An introduction to the natural history, societies, conservation and sustainable development of the New Guinea region prepared by CSIRO Australia for the Moore Foundation, 2003 This pictorial review will show: •how Earth history has given these islands immense biological and mineral riches; •why the plants and animals are of outstanding value for science and natural history; •the enormous diversity of human cultures developed over the last30,000 years; •the footprints of human society and infrastructure that lie over the entire landscape; •agricultural land industrial developments that impact on many ecosystems; and •the combined footprints of the widespread developing human societies and conservation areas (both existing and proposed) forming a complex mosaic of residential, development and conservation interests, even at a broad scale. Any successful strategy to maintain viable communities of the fascinating and valuable plants and animals of the New Guinea region will require (1)the best scientifically-based landscape management plans for both conservation and production, and (2)feasible plans for economic and social developments that meet the needs and aspirations of local landowners and residents
