The first INDIS trip to PNG involved planning meetings, discussions with local leaders and field visits to villages around Tabubil and the Ok Tedi mine. Emma Gilberthorpe (UEA), who coordinates the INDIS work in PNG was reunited with many old friends and colleagues along the way. The team also comprised project lead Heike Schroeder (UEA), David Glama (DWU), Bronya Kane (local researcher) and Neil Dawson (UEA).
