Actions Pour La Biodiversite Et Gestion DES Terroirs

Actions Pour La Biodiversite Et Gestion DES Terroirs is a non-profit organization and community development corporation based in Cameroon, registered in the U.S. federal government's System for Award Management (SAM) since March 2021. The organization specializes in sustainable forest management, biodiversity conservation, and institutional capacity building across regional, national, and local government levels in Central Africa. As an international organization, it focuses on providing critical environmental services and support to forest-dependent communities, with a particular emphasis on research, conservation, and sustainable development initiatives.

The organization has secured multiple federal grant awards primarily from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, totaling significant funding for forest monitoring and capacity building projects. These grants, including a $392,131.03 Cooperative Agreement, support comprehensive efforts in Central Africa, specifically in Cameroon. The federal grant awards have focused on establishing and operationalizing national forest monitoring systems, strengthening institutional capacity for sustainable forest management, and implementing climate change mitigation strategies. Key project activities include research, education, training, conservation initiatives, and developing robust forest management practices. The grants typically range from one to three years in duration, with completion dates extending through September 2025, and involve implementing national forest monitoring systems, conducting capacity-building training, and supporting forest-dependent communities through strategic environmental and development interventions.
