Republic of Angola

The Integrated Conservation of the Maiombe Forest Ecosystem in Cabinda Province, Angola, aims to protect and restore this unique rainforest of high biodiversity significance. The project will strengthen protected area management, promote sustainable resource use, and enhance ecosystem connectivity across borders. Through community engagement and capacity building, it seeks to improve livelihoods while conserving critical habitats.

Angola is a vast and ecologically diverse country in south-western Africa, bordered by Namibia, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and the Atlantic Ocean. The country is characterized by a rapidly growing population and an economy largely driven by oil and mineral resources, creating significant challenges in balancing economic development with the conservation of its natural capital.
