With a population of 300,000, Bougainville has set a deadline of 2027 to achieve independence from Papua New Guinea, and needs to reopen the Panguna mine to build its economy.”

Evan Centanni (PolGeoNow)From last month, some more good journalism on "#KingdomOfPapaala" on #Bougainville, probably the world's most country-like #micronation, led by financial scammer Noah Musingku:

Meet the South Pacific Ponzi King With a Bogus Bank — and a Global Fan Club
Fugitive Ponzi schemer Noah Musingku reigns over an armed “cargo cult” deep in the interior of one of the world’s most isolated islands. OCCRP went to investigate how he had attracted an international following at the fringes of conspiracy culture.

Sea ShepherdEven though it spans just 1.6% of our ocean, the Coral Triangle is massive in importance. It holds 76% of the world’s known coral species, over 3,000 types of reef fish, and 6 out of 7 of the planet’s marine turtle species. This extraordinary region is often called the Amazon of the Seas, or the beating heart of ocean biodiversity.🪸
A cornerstone of the Coral Triangle is #Bougainville—a marine paradise teeming with life and endangered species. But this place isn't just about marine life: these reefs uphold food security, support coastal economies, protect cultural traditions, and regulate the balance of the entire ocean’s ecosystem.
🛑 Yet, the #CoralTriangle is under siege by IUU-fishing.
That's why we're partnering with the Bougainville Police Service to protect what remains. Because protecting it isn’t just about saving fish or coral—it’s about securing the future of our #ocean, and of every life that depends on it.✊
