WWF - Democratic Republic of Congo

WWF has been working in DRC across issues related to illegal wildlife trade, sustainable and effective protected areas, green economy, forests and carbon. As part of its work to support the implementation of REDD+, WWF-DRC is cooperating with the Government of DRC, local partners and communities. Much of this work has focused on the  Maï-Ndombe province of DRC, covering a 12.5 million hectare area, with the aim of developing, testing and implementing actions as part of the jurisdictional REDD+ programme in the province, which is partly based on the WWF REDD+ for People and Nature Project.
