Central Africa Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE) Meeting in Mambasa, DR Congo

CARPE Consortium meeting in Mambasa

The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) organized a 4-day consortium meeting to explain the work which is planned to be undertaken with Central Africa Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE) funds provided by USAID in the Ituri-Epulu-Aru landscape. This essentially involved discussing the land use plan, how to improve community livelihoods and delivering environmental education to communities. For the 2014-2020 phases, CARPE is partnering with WCS and OCP to implement a 5-year work plan that has already been developed which responds to the threats to the entire landscape and especially on the Okapi Wildlife Reserve.  Read more here.
