YUS Conservation Area
YUS Conservation Area is a protected area on the Huon Peninsula, Morobe Province of Papua New Guinea. It was established in 2009〔(Conservation International: YUS ), retrieved 19 May 2010〕 as Papua New Guinea's first conservation area, and named after the Yopno, Uruwa and Som rivers that flow through it.〔(Conservation International ), retrieved 19 May 2010〕 The 760 km² area of tropical forests is stretching from coral reefs off the northern coast to the 4,000-metre peaks of the western Saruwaged Mountains. It is a critical habitat for the endangered endemic Matschie's tree-kangaroo.〔(Wildlife Extra: Papua New Guinea declares first National Conservation Area to protect tree kangaroos ), retrieved 19 May 2010〕
While the land remains under local customary ownership, villagers from 35 villages have formally committed to prohibit all hunting, logging and mining within the land that has been pledged to the conservation area.〔
==Flora and fauna==
The YUS area provides habitat for 268 species of bird, 44 species of mammal and 26 species of frog.
