Baiyer River Sanctuary, Protected nature reserve in Western Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea.
The Baiyer River Sanctuary extends across 740 hectares of rainforest terrain, positioned at elevations between 800 and 1200 meters above sea level.
The sanctuary opened on January 13, 1968, under Australian administration after Frederick William Shaw Mayer established it as a Birds Sanctuary in 1967.
The sanctuary maintains connections with local tribes who participate in conservation efforts and support the rehabilitation of wildlife preservation facilities.
Located 40 kilometers from Mount Hagen, the sanctuary requires advance arrangements with Ukni landowner representatives for accommodation at 100 Kina per night.
Among 185 bird species and 8 mammal species, the sanctuary houses the rare amphibian Litoria oenicolen, documented only twice within its boundaries.
