Our Work

Our Social Organization, based on the principles of the Nagoya Protocol and Solidarity Economy, supports rural communities in developing sustainable and equitable Income Generating Activities from their forests.

Our co-developed projects enhance Gabon's cultural and natural heritage, provide an alternative to illegal exploitation of forest resources, and address human-wildlife conflict and rural exodus.
