Central Africa Regional
The Challenge
The Central Africa Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE) aims to reduce the rate of forest degradation and loss of biodiversity through increased local, national, and regional natural resource management capacity. Central Africa contains the second largest area of contiguous moist tropical forest in the world, with dense forests that extend over 1.9 million square kilometers. Despite the richness of the biodiversity of the Congo Basin, its people are among the poorest in Africa. The challenge is to strike a balance between the use of natural resources to satisfy current human needs and the protection of the resource base for future generations. Obstacles include political fragility, weak governance institutions, low human and institutional capacity and a rapidly growing international demand for tropical timber products. Key activities address protected area management, improved natural resource management policies and capacity, and rational forest resource use.
