First seminar, held in May 2008
The Pacific Research Cluster held its first seminar in May 2008 when Dr Tim Bayliss-Smith, Reader in Pacific Geography and Fellow of St John’s College, University of Cambridge, spoke on “Sustainable Livelihoods from Wildlife in Papua New Guinea: The Butterfly Model versus the Crocodile Model”.
The seminar was held in Te Tumu and had a very good turnout and lively interchange.
