Resumen
Descripción
Equatorial Guinea has a forest cover estimated at 2.5 million hectares, representing more than 90 percent of the national surface area. Despite this extensive cover, the estimated rates of forest loss (deforestation plus forest degradation) show a worrying upward trend, particularly for forest degradation. In line with its international and regional commitments, in 2012 Equatorial Guinea started its national process of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, and the role of conservation, sustainable management and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+). This project significantly contributed to moving forward the national REDD+ progress, engaging multiple actors in the fight against climate change. In order to address the causes of deforestation and forest degradation, and promote sustainable development, Equatorial Guinea decided to develop a National REDD+ Investment Plan.
