the leading force behind that
encourages the idea of
sustainability in the management
of the environment especially in
Port Moresby Nature Park is

sightseeing, touring, study purposes,

and welcoming atmosphere where both
international and domestic tourists can
have a place to visits and so they will
fuel to the practice of sustainability to
