Objective
The strategic objective of CARPE is to reduce the rate of forest degradation and loss of biodiversity in the Congo Basin by increasing local, national, and regional natural resource management capacity.
Intermediate results to be achieved in order to reach this objective involve implementing sustainable forest and biodiversity management practices, strengthening environmental governance, and working to monitor forests and other natural resources throughout the region.
By working to fulfill its objective, CARPE supports broader efforts to alleviate poverty in Central Africa by helping to conserve the biotic resources necessary for sustainable development. CARPE also provides global benefits by contributing to efforts to slow climate change and protect the species and genetic resources of the Congo Basin.
