ABSTRACT
Papua New Guinea (PNG) offers a unique opportunity to showcase this as the country is predominantly Christian, while according to the constitution and the ancestors, the land is held in customary tenure collectively by clans and tribes and is unalienable. Early missionaries had destroyed a lot of traditional rituals including spiritual ornaments and “masalai ples” during the missionary era but as Papua New Guineans began to receive good education, many see their duty towards God the Creator as involving the preservation of His flora and fauna and all living things that would normally be destroyed by man’s greed. They still believe, cherish, and hold onto their traditional customary land tenure system which is their heritage, and are exploring what Christian Faith has to say about the closely linked problems of their land, sea, and people and the effects of climate change and sustainable living in PNG.
