Synopsis (short abstract) 1. Africa’s forest resources are among the richest and most diverse in the world and are crucial for the welfare of its people, as well as for biological diversity and climate regulation. Yet, despite conservation efforts, the destruction of forests, woodlands and wildlife continues unabated, primarily driven by forces outside the forest sector.
