Evaluation overview of the project "Public-private partnership to sustainably manage the Central African Forests (P3FAC)"

The countries involved in the P3FAC Project (Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, CAR, DRC) are shaded by around 160 million hectares of dense rainforests, home to 10% of known global terrestrial biodiversity. Yet over half of these forests are also used in the wood production industry, and more than 1/3 of concessions are to be developed over the course of the next 10 years. This constant encroachment by forestry development makes it necessary to strike a balance between forest harvesting and preservation.
