Reducing Demand for Illegally Traded Wildlife Products in Liberia
The illegal and unsustainable wildlife trade is a significant threat to biodiversity. Our campaign focuses on understanding and addressing consumers’ demand for bushmeat and illegal wildlife products in Liberia.
Addressing Deforestation in the Upper Guinea Forest of West Africa
