The CCC sanctuary is located in the Parc National du Haut Niger (Park) located approximately 450 km from Conakry, the capital city, in Guinea. The European Union funds the 54,000-hectare park, but the Guinean government owns the land.
Geography
Guinea has four zones: a narrow coastal plain; the Fouta Djalon Plateau; the northeastern, dry lowlands; and the forests in the southeast. At over 1.5 km, the Fouta Djalon Plateau is the source of the Gambia and Senagal rivers, and much of the Niger. Southeastern Guinea is hilly and heavily vegetated. Due to fires and cultivation however, little virgin rainforest remains. Click the Africa icon to the right for a map of Guinea.
Climate
Guinea is one of the wettest countries in West Africa. Rainfall at the coast averages 4.3 meters per year (half of which falls in July and August) while the central mountainous region receives about 2.2 meters. Temperatures average 30 degrees C along the coast, are slightly cooler inland, and can fall below 10 degrees C in the higher elevations.
Two of the major environmental concerns in Guinea are deforestation and the bushmeat trade. Although environmental exploitation has been mostly small-scale due to limited mechanization, it has increased recently due to the improved road system.

Equatorial Guinea
Introduction [Top of Page] Background: Composed of a mainland portion and five inhabited islands, Equatorial Guinea has been ruled by ruthless leaders who have badly mismanaged the economy since independence from 190 years of Spanish rule in 1968. Although nominally a constitutional democracy since 1991, the 1996 presidential and 1999 legislative elections were widely seen as being flawed.

Guinea-Bissau
Introduction [Top of Page] Background: In 1994, 20 years after independence from Portugal, the country's first multiparty legislative and presidential elections were held. An army uprising that triggered a bloody civil war in 1998, created hundreds of thousands of displaced persons. The president was ousted by a military junta in May 1999. An interim government turned over power in February 2000 when opposition leader Koumba YALLA took office following two rounds of transparent presidential elections. Guinea-Bissau's transition back to democracy will be complicated by a crippled economy devastated by civil war and the military's predilection for governmental meddling.

Brief History and Geography
CMAN/R3000-1 The history of the Territory, post-1945, can be epitomised. Under an agreement with the United Nations Organisation in 1946, Australia became Administrator of the Territory of New Guinea. In 1949, the Australian Government passed a Bill that combined New Guinea and Papua, thus creating the Territory of Papua and New Guinea. The Territory of Papua and New Guinea, and the 15 Administration Districts into which it was sub-divided, circa 1954, are shown on the accompanying map. In summary, the Territory covered the geographical area between the equator and latitude 12°S, extending eastward from its border with then Dutch New Guinea (primarily longitude 141°E) to around longitude 156°E. Its main landmass comprised the eastern half of the large island of New Guinea. It also included the major islands of New Britain and New Ireland, and many smaller islands and atolls to as far east as Buka Island and larger Bougainville Island in the Solomon Islands chain. With the major exceptions of the delta country at the head of the Gulf of Papua and swamp areas of the Sepik River (and of similar smaller areas on other rivers), New Guinea, and the other larger islands of the Territory are primarily mountainous. Two peaks on the mainland ascend to 14 300 and 15 400 feet. Some of the smaller islands and, of course, atolls are, however, comparatively flat. The terrain contributes significantly to the Territory's generally high rainfalls and mainly swiftly flowing rivers; but Port Moresby, an exception, is in a relatively dry area.

Papua New Guinea For the serious Adventure Traveller Adventure in New Guinea Asia Homepage The World P apua New Guinea occupies the eastern half of the rugged tropical island of New Guinea(which it shares with the Indonesian territory of Irian Jaya) as well as numerous smaller islands and atolls in the Pacific. The central part of the island rises into a wide ridge of mountains known as the Highlands , a territory that is so densely forested and topographically forbidding that the island's local peoples remained isolated from each other for millennia. The coastline is liberally endowed with spectacular coral reefs, giving the country an international reputation for scuba diving. The smaller island groups of Papua New Guinea include the Bismarck Archipelago, New Britain, New Ireland and the North Solomons. Some of these islands are volcanic, with dramatic mountain ranges, and all are relatively undeveloped. Nearly 85 percent of the main island is carpeted with tropical rain forest, containing vegetation that is a combination of Asian and Australian species. The country is also home to an impressive variety of exotic birds, including virtually all of the known species of birds of paradise, and it is blessed with more kinds of orchids than any other country.

  • Biography Glenn Banks came to the School in 1996. He completed undergraduate and Masters degrees at the University of Canterbury, then did a PhD in Human Geography in the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies at the Australian National University in Canberra. Prior to his appointment at ADFA, he had tutored and lectured in undergraduate Geography at both the Australian National University and the University of Canberra.
  • Research Dr Banks has research expertise in economic geography and development geography in relation to resource development in Third World countries. The focus of his work has been on the economic and social implications of large-scale mine development in Papua New Guinea and Irian Jaya (Indonesia). He has spent 10 years (including 18 months in the field) carrying out research on a number of mining projects in the region. His other academic interests include the cultural dimensions of development, the role of non-governmental organisations in developing countries, and the local and regional economic and social implications of globalisation.

    Welcome to The Official Website of the Papua New Guinea High Commision, Canberra, Australia. Home About Us News Contacts ... Links PNG TIME Geography Papua New Guiinea is located between three degrees north and eleven degress south of the Equator. It consists of a mainland region and a collection of 600 islands of varying sizes. The mainland forms the eastern part of the island of New Guinea, the western part being an Indonesian province. New Guinea (land area 868,000 square kilometres) is the world's second largest island (after Greenland). Geologically and topographically PNG is very new. It is situated in a zone where the earth's crust is very weak, on the boundary between the tectonic plates of Australia and the Pacific Ocean. Most of the country has been formed by comparatively recent earth movements and volcanic activity. The coastal and island regions tend to be hot and humid. Some areas in the south (including Prot Moresby) have a distinct rainy and dry season. Other southern coastal areas (including Madang and Morobe) have a less clearly defined wet season. The overall appearance of the country is extremely rugged, particularly in the highlands which are characterised by sheer slopes, sharp ridges, fast-running rivers and the scars of countless landslides.
