Once again, we learn that the activities of Missionaries are not what they are supposed to be.

Biak Missionaries Destroy the Natural Environment
On Biak Island in West Papua - -the most christianised (because of ease of access) of West Papua, the missionaries are not content with watering down to almost nothing the traditional culture and beliefs of the Papuans that live in Biak, they want to destroy the natural habitat too in doing so, making sure the peoples will have no choice but to become economic slaves, growing cash crops for cheap exports.

Can someone just tell, this is most unwelcome behaviour.
