There is a call for Papua New Guineans to stop eating the country's native animals.

PNG has a vast number of native species but they are at risk from a series of factors and the general manager of the Port Moresby Nature Park, Michelle McGeorge, says there are things people can do to ensure the survival of the native animals.

Don Wiseman spoke with Ms McGeorge and began by asking her about the Nature Park and its work.
