You forgot about the part where a bunch of tribes trekked halfway across the island to extort money from the project, then walked in and killed everybody when told there was no money to give.

They do conduct canabalism in the highlands. Its more Symbolic than an every-day thing. As in a celebration for winning a tribal war.
They also use the bones for witchdoctor medicines and arrow tips.

No. I want to see a bird of paradise, but they keep eating them all.

Rabbits have also been introduced into New Guinea in the 40's as a food source. Cunts ate the lot of them.
