WildCare Institute Echidnas in Papua New Guinea Center for Conservation in Papua New Guinea Location: Papua New Guinea Project Managers: Alice Seyfried Species: Echidna Priority: High Background Papua New Guinea (PNG) has the longest lizards, the tallest tropical trees and the biggest butterflies in the world. Its high species count and endemism put it in the world's top ten countries for biodiversity, so establishing protected wildlife areas is critically important to prevent extinctions. Destruction of the rainforest threatens the continued existence of the diverse community, which includes the Matschie's tree kangaroo and the long-beaked echidna. Unless there are projects to observe and conserve mammals like the Short-beaked Echidna currently studied at the Saint Louis Zoo other unique PNG communities will also continue to suffer. A favorite of the Children's Zoo , this porcupine-looking, egg-laying mammal may provide hope for the survival of its own species as well as other PNG flora and fauna.

The Skate Government had emerged after the mid-1997 elections following the revolt by sections of the military protesting against the hiring of Sandline mercenaries to prosecute the Bougainville war. The Defence Force remains factionalised deeply. Mr Skate's Ministry was itself unstable, with three deputy prime ministers in two years. It increasingly politicised the public service, and state activities suffered across the country.
