Dubuzon Clan wants to legalize ownership of its ancestral land, stretching 8,534 acres along the banks of the Cestos River towards Liberia’s border with Cote d’Ivoire, roughly a 15-minute walk away from this Krahn-dominated settlement.  It plans to contract logging companies and use funds to build a clinic, erect a school, provide hand pumps, and build roads for over 2,000 residents.
