As sustainability issues become crucial for the future of tropical forests, a new forest management model is emerging in the Congo Basin.
Initiated by committed operators and supported by technical partners such as the FSC, this model aims to reconcile sustainable exploitation, social inclusion, and economic profitability, while strengthening ecosystem resilience.
It is based on an integrated approach that values ecosystem services, forest product diversification, certification, and more participatory governance. This development marks an important step for the forests of the Congo Basin, which are facing increasing pressures.
This initiative is a collaboration between WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society) and Kamba African Rainforest Experiences, which are working together to explore concrete solutions for integrating conservation, ecotourism, and responsible forest resource management. These efforts demonstrate a shared commitment to building a forest economy that benefits both biodiversity and local communities.
This promising model paves the way for a new generation of forest concessions that combine ecological performance and sustainable development.
