There are subtle and cleverly designed strategies to gradually alienate traditional land owners.

It may not become obvious at first. However, as time passes, the governments and foreigners once given a foothold, it's a pretty tough and losing battle to contain the flood of trickery and injustice that can be dished out to the land owners. It doesn't matter whether the land is in the coast or high up in the highlands.

PNGeans must NOT sell their lands to foreigners !!
Furthermore, Governments (of all levels) have proven to be poor custodians of common properties like land. They do weird things with land titles and records.

With "predatory lending" and other smart tactics, foreigners and other so-called financial institutions will corner the people into some disadvantageous and helpless positions and they will do their damage.
