Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea occupies the eastern half of the island of New Guinea, where dense rainforest climbs sharply into cloud-shrouded highland ranges before descending to mangrove coasts and coral-fringed islands. It is one of the most linguistically diverse places on Earth, home to over 800 languages and hundreds of distinct cultural groups whose traditions remain deeply embedded in daily life.
