Description
A logged area of former forest between Honiara and the Weather Coast in Guadalcanal, taken from a New Zealand helicopter, deployed under Operation Rata and participating in the Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI). Illegal and uncontrolled logging was one of the major negative social and economic consequences of the decline of government authority in the Solomon Islands, prior to RAMSI’s multi-national policing and military intervention.
