YUS Landscape Plan 2013-2015

Abstract

Building on the YUS Conservation Area as the first protected area in Papua New Guinea (PNG) under the PNG Conservation Areas Act, the YUS Landscape Plan is another first for YUS and for PNG. This comprehensive and detailed Plan serves both as a management tool for the YUS Conservation Area as well as a strategic guide for integrated efforts in YUS. It represents a remarkable collaboration and history between the Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program and the YUS community, along with many partners and supporters. The YUS Landscape Plan is designed to provide guidelines and support to the YUS landowners and TKCP for maintaining a sustainable landscape. It is considered a living document that will be revised on a regular basis incorporating new information and responding to the needs of the YUS community.
