GABON: Launch of ForestLAB initiative for forest monitoring
A new ecological research program is born in Africa. Launched by British partners, including the African Conservation Development Group (ACDG), ForestLAB's main missions are to highlight the role of Africa's high forest density, low deforestation (HFLD) countries in mitigating global climate change and to develop monitoring tools and financial mechanisms to ensure the continued protection of these forests. The pilot phase of the project, with initial funding of $5 billion from the ACDG, will be implemented in Gabon for five years.
