The Society for the Conservation of Nature of Liberia (SCNL) and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) with funding from the British Government have begun a three-day workshop to draft a strategic plan that will help to conserve the 40 percent forest belt the country has in the Guinea tropical rain-forest zone. The two organizations are currently holding a strategic workshop with cocoa farmers from across the country, with a view to bringing farmers together to devise a strategy that will enhance high yield of cocoa and prevent farmers encroaching on conserved forests.
