TFF Gabon

In 2004, TFF secured a grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), U.S. Forest Service (USDA), to initiate a pilot project for RIL training in West/Central Africa. The project is in partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and FORM Ecology Consultants

The TFF project in Africa extends beyond RIL training to encompass all aspects of concession management. WCS’s involvement will ensure that special concerns for wildlife conservation in the Congo Basin are incorporated into the project concept.

In May, 2007, ITTO made available a major grant to expand the Gabon pilot project in RIL training, to become a Regional Program.
