Accidental ecotourists
Article Abstract:
Daniel Start headed a group of scientists on an expedition to Papua new Guinea where four of the scientists were abducted by guerillas. The expedition was well planned but the scientists did not fully understand the political background. West Papuans are faced with occupation and migration of Indonesians to Papua has forced many Papuans from their land. The expedition worked with Indonesians was in some ways an unintended provocation. Scientists should be more cautious about such expeditions.
