- Through various USG programs aimed at conserving critical Congo Basin forests, USFS is strengthening the institutional and technical capacities of governmental and intergovernmental organizations and civil society organizations.
- In collaboration with these organizations, USFS is strengthening community-based models for forest management, conservation, and restoration; increasing the effectiveness of protected area management and ecotourism; improving capacity to deter illegal timber harvest and trade; and monitoring, measuring, and reporting changes in forestry and other land use, among other programs.
