State of West African marine protected areas 2022

The coastal zone of West Africa extends approx. 6,000 km, from Mauritania in the north, passing through the deeply indented coasts of the islands and estuaries, then the lagoon coasts and the coastal strips of the Gulf of Guinea, up to Nigeria. The small island state of the Cabo Verde Islands, volcanic and mountainous, completes this geography. These coastal areas are characterized by globally significant biodiversity.

The African republic of Liberia and the Belgian Congo : Volume I

The Harvard African Expedition of 1926-1927 was planned for the purpose of making a biological and medical survey of Liberia, which apparently was that country of Africa about which the least was known in those respects. It was also planned, after the survey was completed, to cross the continent of Africa from the west to the east coast, travelling particularly through the Belgian Congo, and to make comparative studies in these regions. This program was carried out. This publication is the result of this expedition.

Status of tropical forest management 2011

This report, two years in the making, provides a comprehensive assessment of progress being made towards SFM in each ITTO producer member country and identifies the challenges remaining. Key findings include that the area deemed to be under sustainable management has grown by 50% over the past 5 years but that several countries continue to struggle to make the transition to sustainability in their tropical forests.

Women in environmental decision making : case studies in Ecuador, Liberia, and the Philippines

Across the globe, women are heavily involved in the environmental sector, including in agriculture, fisheries, forestry, and in adapting to and mitigating climate change. However, women's participation and representation in decision-making processes that pertain to their and their families' environmental well-being are often restricted. In 2014, Conservation International collaborated with IUCN's Global Gender Office (GGO) to produce case studies about the state of women in environmental decision making in three countries: Ecuador, Liberia, and the Philippines.
