Liberia’s prime custodian of the forest sector, the Forestry Development Authority (FDA), started 2014 under the watchful eyes and ears of local and international advocacy groups, including the UK-based Global Witness.

Global Witness, a leader in forestry, land rights and environmental advocacy, has had great impact on reforms undertaken the Liberian government.

With Liberia possessing the last remaining rain forests in Africa, preservation of this precious natural resource is indeed critical to the overall future of the nation and its people.
