Expanding Protected Areas in the Congo Basin
Fauna & Flora International (FFI) will support the protection of 167,000 hectares (in Bitule, Omate and Kanyama) and expand work in Maiko National Park by 1,000,000 hectares. This project will support capacity building, equipment, and park infrastructure. Additionally, FFI will steward participatory processes for community forest management and directly engage local communities in protected area management and improving local livelihoods (e.g., through patrols and monitoring)
