forest, containing vegetation that is a combination of Asian and Australian species. The country is also home to an impressive variety of exotic birds, including virtually all of the known species of birds of paradise, and it is blessed with more kinds of orchids than any other country.Papua New Guinea's climate is tropical, as one would expect in a country located just south of the Equator.
