How can local communities help protect forests?

In the Ebyeng village in Gabon, locals are repopulating their ancestral forest with species such as the Moabi, which has become almost extinct due to haphazard harvesting. Ebyeng was the first village in Gabon to start �community forestry,� where locals manage their own forest. Today, it is one of only three permanent community forests in Gabon. Nearby, another group in Nze Vatican is sustainably harvesting their forest and running an artisanal logging project. Both these efforts have been made possible by a joint Nature Plus-WWF project.
