  6. Bougainville has experienced a number of difficult conflicts over the last century. Japan invaded during World War II in 1942. From 1988-1998 a civil war existed between the PNG Government and Bougainville freedom groups.

  7. In recent decades, the people of Bougainville have desired to have a country of their own (with full independence). Later this year, in October, the people will vote to see if they may become fully independent.

  8. Green dominates the landscape… … beautiful trees, plants and forests.
