USAID Work in Forest Conservation: With Programmatic Examples
USAID works with countries to protect, manage, and restore their forests. Sound management of environmental and natural resources is integral to a country’s development, resilience, and self-reliance. Forests provide a wealth of benefits: they protect biodiversity and water resources, sequester carbon, improve health and nutrition, provide timber and other products that contribute to people’s livelihoods, and shelter communities from weather and climate extremes. USAID’s biodiversity and sustainable landscapes programs work to achieve results at scale in globally important forests.
