During 2014 your varied contributions have greatly enhanced our shared partnership. Together we have made real and concrete progress while steadily growing the scope of our initiatives and community!

As this year closes and another begins, many challenges await us in 2015 and it is our sincere hope that we will advance our collective efforts to mobilize the international community on behalf of the Congo Basin, and to support its regional institutions ECCAS – COMIFAC.  We will continue to promote the initiatives, programs and projects of our partners on the ground who we commend for their courage and dedication in working tirelessly to improve lives and sustain the invaluable natural resources of the Congo Basin.

In the New Year as we look forward to continuing to work closely to advance biodiversity conservation and sustainable management of forest ecosystems in Central Africa, this is a perfect opportunity for us to extend our best wishes to your networks and institutions for happiness, health, success, prosperity in 2015. 

Very Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year 2015 from the U.S. CBFP Facilitation Team
