Forest restoration in South Kivu
Louvain Coopération is taking part in a vast project for the restoration and sustainable management of mountainous agricultural ecosystems in South Kivu, initiated by the FAO (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation). The programme covers the territories of Kabare and Walungu, in the vicinity of the Kahuzi Biega National Park. Its aim is to improve development opportunities in the Democratic Republic of Congo through the sustainable exploitation of natural resources, as well as reforestation and the sustainable, community-based management of these resources.
