Project Description
Mai Ndombe Specification
This project strives to protect 248,956 hectares of forest from unsustainable practices in western DRC. The project area is ecologically rich, home to many species and some of the world’s most important wetlands. However, it is particularly vulnerable to industrial logging, unsustainable fuel-wood extraction and slash-and-burn agriculture. Project activities will involve participatory community-based conservation initiatives which will help to reduce unsustainable land-use practices.
