    (The future site of the Sandalwood Park in Lifau, Oecussi)

    July marked the commencement of a critical development project in Oecussi, Timor-

    Leste, in collaboration with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation (PA2

    Foundation): a Sandalwood Park and Environmental Protection Center. The Park will be

    established in Lifau, the capital of Oecussi,Timor-Leste.

    Portuguese and the Dutch were attracted to the island of Timor during colonial times by

    its rich sandalwood forests, namely in the kingdom of Oecussi.

    The project also focuses on environmental education through the Environmental

    Protection Center. This Center will provide information and expertise on environmental

    issues critical to the development of Oecussi and its place in the regional and world

    environment, provide educational programming to foster and advocate environmentally

    responsible development, and cooperate with local schools.

    The FPCD is responsible for project management and liaise between the PA2

    Foundation and the Oecussi Park Commission, who will be locally implementing the

    project. The Sandalwood Park and Environmental Protection Center may become a

    model for environmentally sound development practice around the world.

    Albert II of Monaco Foundation. To see the Foundations website, please visit:

    FPCD Shares Personal Narratives from Post Conflict Countries

    I remember the first times I went to my family's home,occupied by strangers, settled in from Anatolian Turkey.

    They had no place being in my home. They were not relatedto the island, the environment, the sea, the air... it had

    nothing to do with them, yet here they were, living in myhouse, welcoming me into my own home with coffee and

    treats. I felt odd. At the same time I felt guilty, thinking 'theyare human too,' after nearly 40 years, how could I uproot

    them from what they now call 'home.'

    Peace and Conflict, taken from the FPCD blog.)
