This little corner of UNITECH in Lae is a nice place for both children and adults to enjoy. It is such a lovely place to take school children for excursions or day trips. Regardless of the state, the facility is in, the animals are in an amazing condition.
Lae UNITECH’s Habitat Large Crocodile
'Agro' the
giant crocodile is a sight to be reckoned with. He is, I guess, the biggest
crocodile in captive in PNG compared to the ones at Port Moresby’s Adventure
Park. Another highlight is the variety of birds you can see at the Habitat.
Kokies (the cockatoos) can actually talk to you. If you do not believe me,
there is only one way to find out – go there and see them!
Lae Unitech Habitat Needs Renovation
Having visited the Habitat, almost every year, I am
saddened to have released that the facility has been left to rot away. There is
little or no maintenance done to it, let alone make improvements. I do
understand that the Habitat sucks up a lot of money compared to UNITECH’s other
facilities like the Butterfly Farm at Bulolo.
However, the Habitat has come to a stage where immediate
attention is required to give it a facelift. It is about time for business
houses and sponsors to step in and help. In fact, what sponsors have done at
the Port Moresby Nature Park in reassuring.

Several years go the Nature Park
was in a similar condition as that UNITECH Habitat: rotting boardwalks,
unmaintained footpaths and nettings, disgusting toilets, unsecured, limited
marketing, etc.
Today, the Nature Park next to the University of Papua
New Guinea is a world-class facility to be enjoyed by everyone. I only wish
that the University of Technology Habitat in Lae is given the treatment it
needs, too.
