The year 2015 has been the year of milestone achievement for the Environmental Research and Management Center. This is despite usual constraints, of no additional staffing, no operational fund allocation for the center coupled with more or less casual moral and administrative support from the office of the Vice Chancellor, from whom the Director takes counsel. Amongst the number of achievements in research and publication the Environmental Research and Management Center was able to secure a major consultancy project with the Porgera Landowners Association Inc., in December 2014 however; actual work on data analyses and write up was done in 2015.
