The coming of mining activities on Lihir Island has brought with it new challenges.
Environmental damages, loss of sacred grounds.
In PNG, the impacts of mining operations in resourceful areas have provided a lesson for the Lihir people.
…Such as in Misima Island, Milne Bay province, where the current economic standard has been reduced to a mere subsistence economy after the mining operation ended.
Many of the people have now returned to subsistence gardening, fishing and alluvial mining as a means of earning an income.
But the Lihir people say they won't follow that same path.
They are already charting a new future, to be self reliant and financially independent.
