The description and discussion of a definite example of a regional project related to "development" and timber extraction in the tropical rainforest in Madang Province, Papua New Guinea presents an opportunity to illustrate actual transformation processes concerning the situation of indigenous populations, land rights, economic development, environmental issues and national integration.
