Can Liberians Save Their Forest? And Can Their Forest Save the World?
Climate change is ravaging our region but Liberia has one major asset. One of the world’s largest tracts of forest is right here –trees play a major role in helping halt climate change. But the forest also plays a key role –providing for our fast growing population.

"What nature has placed in this country makes us one of the most nature-based valuable nations in the world.” Jefferson Nyandibo, the Liberian focal point for the UN Framework on Climate Change.
