Bio-diversity

The project seeks to contribute to the effective and sustainable management of forests and other natural resources at the local community level. By deepening communities knowledge and sense of ownership of the conservation initiative and by increasing their involvement in the management of protected areas the project offers co-management as an effective approach to sustaining the conservation of the country s most important biodiversity hotspot, the Gola Rainforest. The project further seeks to ensure that communities take action to ensure reforestation and afforestation of degraded areas of their community forests.
