DEAR EDITOR – I wrote last week suggesting that universal business practice and operations might change once the COVID-19 threat is over. I had in mind when I wrote the piece whether working from home, aided with new technology, would catch on and become the norm allowing companies and businesses to cut down on their…
DEAR EDITOR – Last week I wrote briefly telling the story of the Barana Nature and Heritage Park which had been established with support from the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) through its Pacific Ecosystem-based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC) project. I should have mentioned the Wagina community project which had also…
DEAR EDITOR – I would not term the recent tragic incident with the Taimareho shipping as an accident or just a disaster.
