In collaboration with the Forest is life scientific team from the Faculty Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech (University of Liège), Nature + published at the end of 2020 a book entitled "Development and implementation of a management plan de la fauna - Technical guide for managers of production forests in Central Africa ”.
This guide is an operational tool intended to support operators of Central African forests in improving their practices in terms of wildlife management, and to support them in a possible process of certification of legality or sustainability.
