Where CARPE works
Congo Basin
The CARPE program is directly concerned with the sustainable
management of the Congo Basin forest ecosystem.
Countries
CARPE was initiated as a regional program because the Congo Basin
forest is not contained within a single country, but instead represents
a contiguous area of tropical forest that acts as the catchment basin
for the Congo River.
Landscapes
The majority of CARPE funds are allocated to support activities in
designated landscapes. By implementing a landscape approach to natural
resource management, CARPE works to integrate conservation objectives
with objectives concerning the subsistence of human populations,
commercial exploitation and agriculture, industry, and urban
development.
