Discover the Support Programme for the Preservation of Forest Ecosystems in West Africa (PAPFor)

The dense rainforests of West Africa stretch from Guinea to western Cameroon. Known as the Guinean forests, they play a crucial role in maintaining climate, environmental services and unique biodiversity.

However, various unsustainable human activities are leading to rampant deforestation. The remaining forests are being depleted of wildlife and many species are now threatened with extinction. Along with forest destruction, development and employment opportunities, as well as ancient cultures, are also being lost.

The aim of the PAPFor programme is to slow – and ultimately halt – the loss of these forests, and promote sustainable solutions for their continued existence, with and for the benefit of local communities.
