Dr Theo Yasause is in jail with no bail for the murder of one of our great Rugby Leauge players.
Dr Yasause as witnesses have said shot the football player at point blank outside a night club in Port Moresby.

I believe the carbon trading and the REDD concept is the lesser devil of logging and forest resource harvesting including environmental degradation in the name of development. PNG must embark on such a concept and Nupan Trading is doing the right thing with resource owners at grassroots level.

@Jimmy – As I explain in a more recent post, the REDD credits fiasco in Papua New Guinea is related to Kevin Conrad and the Coalition for Rainforest Nations, because they are instrumental in pushing a version of REDD that includes carbon trading.

@Brian – good question. I’d love to hear more about how you were “swindled out of $65,000 based on these carbon credits”. But I’d suggest you should take advice from a lawyer first.

@jackson – I suspect you mean “if” rather than “when” the Office of Climate Change and Theo Yasause are proved innocent. You are right, however, that he is innocent until proven guilty. As I pointed out in the post, “Yasause denies having done anything wrong.” This post is a summary of what two journalists have uncovered and written about. Their work indicates certain irregularities about the way the trade in forest credits is developing so far in Papua New Guinea.

These comments are excellent – but what happens when the OCC and Dr. Yasause are proved innocent of any mis deeds? Will you all retrect your bad statements and apologize? Or do you all just need to say bad things because you are jealous and trying to profit with negative comments? I am a land owner from the Highlands and I have been looked after very well, and I am in consultation with developer very well, all the times, who tells me only what is really happening. Why can’t others be true about this exciting new adventure that will help me feed my family for generations while we watch all our trees grow and grow.

I was swindled out of $65,000 based on these carbon credits. Who do I report this too?

What would Amb. Conrad and the Coalition have to do with this? They are not part of the OCC. Any naysaying in Bonn is just from people jealous of his work here at home (that is the PNG way) — like Kenn Mondai, who has never done anything for anybody but himself. But, we are very happy to see the suspension and an internal review. Time to get this resolved and move on…

Where is Kevin Conrad in all of this? He was an original player… and supposedly the subject of much naysaying conversation at the recent talks in Bonn?

And what about Coalition for Rainforest Nations and all the groups behind it that started all of this?
