The headman of the clan, Hokowe Pamowe, seen here with his wife Wanowa Yakani, is angry that construction of a logging road through the clan's sacred place is imminent. A survey road has been marked directly through the site of the burial ground. Batamo legend tells of an ancestor turned to stone in this area and since then the bodies of generations have been placed on shelves at Yokoname Mountain. Their bones hold power and form a spiritual home for the clan. The Batamo believe that disturbance of this place will bring about a bad future.Locations:Oceania-Papua New Guinea-Western ProvinceDate:1 Aug, 2003Credit:© Greenpeace / Sandy ScheltemaMaximum size:1440px X 2160pxKeywords:Day-Forests (campaign title)-Illegal logging-Indigenous People-KWCI (GPI)-Mountains-Outdoors-Roads-Tribal dresses-Tropical rainforests-Two people-WivesShoot:Logging Documentation in Papua New GuineaDocumentation the rainforest, the wildlife and the indigenous people in different areas of the Western Province, threatened by destructive logging.
