YUS Conservation Area is a protected area on the Huon Peninsula, Morobe Province of Papua New Guinea. It was established in 2009 as Papua New Guinea's first conservation area, and named after the Yopno, Uruwa and Som rivers that flow through it. 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.

  • YUS Conservation Area is a protected area on the Huon Peninsula, Morobe Province of Papua New Guinea. It was established in 2009 as Papua New Guinea's first conservation area, and named after the Yopno, Uruwa and Som rivers that flow through it. 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. 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.

  • YUS är ett naturreservat i Papua Nya Guinea. Naturreservatet bildades 2009 i ett unikt naturområde med tropisk skog. Namnet YUS valdes eftersom området genomkorsas av floderna , och . Området som skyddas har en storlek ungefär motsvarande halva Öland (760 kvadratkilometer) och sträcker sig från kusten och upp i bergen. Några av de djur som drar nytta av naturreservatet är sällsynta trädkängurur som är utrotningshotade på grund av skogsavverkning. Utöver att skydda växter och djur väntas naturreservatet även ha en gynnsam effekt på klimatet eftersom biomassan i området binder ca 13 miljoner ton kol, som utan naturreservat kanske skulle ha släppts ut i atmosfären till följd av avverkning och hyggesbränning.
