Addressing forest and wildlife crime and illegal deforestation in the Mekong, Central Africa and Indonesia

The goal of the project is to reduce illegal logging and illegal deforestation due to forest risk commodities, and wildlife trafficking in the Lower Mekong countries, Indonesia and the Republic of Congo through supporting government reform, and greater action by the private sector. These improvements in forest governance will directly benefit poor people who depend upon forest and land resources, the wildlife that inhabits these forests, and contribute to global climate change mitigation targets. In total, the project will benefit >8 million hectares of forests and over >50,000 forest-dependent households, across the target countries.
