The Forest Conservation Summit kicked off in Gabon on Wednesday, with the aim of developing a platform of scientific and economic solutions to combine forest conservation and economic development. Congo Basin countries face a challenge in reconciling the interests and needs of current and future generations, while Asian and African tropical forest basins also face challenges in terms of sustainable management and economic development. The summit will discuss innovative financing solutions for forest conservation and payments for ecosystem services, with a focus on premium carbon credits and the issue of human-wildlife conflict.
