Fine, but my question is:I would second Jurek's observations. I'm in West Papua right now, finishing off a se;f-organized trip. I feel totally safe here, like anywhere else in Indoensia. I would not say that about PNG. There I was escorted by armed police! Definitely a better place to be.
Are you able to find all the endemic families of NG in the Indonesian side?
I believe that the answer is no, even more if you cannot visit the highlands that is the right habitat to look for them.
Regarding birds in general terms, both sides of the island of NG are excellent and the Indonesian side could be safer and the logistics much easier.
But if your target is to watch all the endemic families of the island of NG I believe that visiting PNG is the only option.
