Hey Nature Nerds! This week, Jen is off island, but we figured it out (kind of) to bring this fun episode where Megan gives you the deets on the Praying Mantis pet Market. Then Jen tells us the tragic story of Michael Rockefeller and the head hunting of Papua New Guinea. Hold on to your heads and enjoy!

Organization to Support:

Wildlife Conservation Society of Papua New Guinea: png.wcs.org

WCS is the longest established international conservation organization operating in Papua New Guinea and has been undertaking conservation work in the country since the 1970s. Today, WCS Papua New Guinea program (WCS PNG) employs more than 60 staff based at four offices around the country. WCS works with local communities on a wide range of conservation issues in a variety of locations spanning coral reefs to mountain rainforests.

WCS PNG’s vision is: “Gutpela sindaun, gutpela solwara, gutpela bus”, which translates to, “Empowered people with healthy forests and seas”. This vision fits within WCS’s global vision which “envisions a world where wildlife thrives in healthy lands and seas, valued by societies that embrace and benefit from the diversity and integrity of life on earth”.
