The Zámba initiative is an African-led response to the urgent need to protect, conserve, and restore the continent’s forest landscapes. With 20% of the world’s forest resources including the Congo Basin, the planet’s second-largest tropical rainforest, Africa plays a pivotal role in advancing sustainable forest management, climate resilience, and equitable green growth.
This dinner will bring together leaders, governments, civil society, and international organizations to showcase Zámba’s progress, including:
-
10+ million hectares of FSC-certified forests in Africa
-
05 verified ecosystem service projects across biodiversity, water, and carbon
-
Engagement with 14 governments and a coalition spanning 24 countries
Through partnerships and innovation, Zámba envisions a future where African forests contribute significantly to national development, climate goals, and sustainable livelihoods.
