Am I clear on this that the species of choice for ARAZPA is the Dendrolagus goodfellowi? What is the status of any Dendrolagus matschei in ARAZPA members?
Is only the Rainforest Habitat in PNG maintaining stocks of most other Dendrolagus species (save for the critically endangered Tenkile)?
The PNG Museum is the entity - National Museum - in Waigani, Port Morseby, is it not?
Actually the latter facility also exhibits some live native hornbills, parrots and ducks. Their Life and Land Gallery houses a nice preserved bird specimen collection including a wide range of birds' of paradise. Furthermore they maintain dioramas of every habitat type from mangroves to highland rainforest.
