Alex Waisimon: Birdwatching to guard Jayapura forest

Papua’s forests are gradually being earmarked for expansion of oil palm and mining, and infrastructure development. They are prone to siding with corporations, while marginalizing local communities. Alex Waisimon has responded by inviting as many people as possible to enjoy the beauty and excitement of watching birds of paradise in the wild. He has turned his ancestral community forest in Nimbokrang, Jayapura into an ecotourism area. Originally quite small, the area has now expanded, and consequently more forest has been saved.
