ICCF-CBFP: Congressional Cupcake Briefing "State of the Forest Report", H-137 U.S. Capitol Building
Presenting an evaluation of the success and achievement of the Congo Basin Forest Partnership
Join Us For a Congressional Briefing to launch the latest report on the "State of the Forest" in the Congo Basin.
Thursday, January 14, 2010
10:30 am - 11:30 am
H-137 U.S. Capitol Building
The International Conservation Caucus Foundation and the members of the International Conservation Caucus Foundation Advisory Council are proud to host the launch of the English version of the Forests of the Congo Basin: "State of the Forest" the latest and deeply substantive Congo Basin Forest Partnership (CBFP) publication resulting from the collaborative effort of over 100 individuals representing a diversity of institutions and the forest administrations of Central African countries.
The "State of the Forest" reports on progress by the communities and governments of Central Africa, assisted by the United States and other CBFP partners, towards conserving the world's second largest and most intact tropical rainforest. The Congo Basin is home to gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, forest elephants, and over 70 million people who depend on the forest for their livelihoods. The United States has invested more than $100 million through the Central African Regional Program for the Environment, and the "State of the Forest" documents how this program and other investments are slowing the rate of deforestation and the loss of biodiversity, promoting sustainable development, and stemming greenhouse gas emissions across the Congo Basin and in twelve conservation landscapes.

Upcoming Events
This calendar is based on information provided by COMIFAC and the Franco-German support office is considered a complementary event schedule to the official calendar posted on COMIFAC's website. (http://www.comifac.org/events). It offers a broad overview of international and regional events that are directly linked to CBFP's objectives: major conferences and meetings, workshops and training sessions and other activities scheduled by CBFP Facilitation and its member organisations.
Our choice is by no means exhaustive and depends largely on our partners' notice. Every partner organisation is thus welcome to contribute to a rich variety of posted events and to share its schedule with CBFP's Facilitation and the other members! We may also, upon request, forward your input to the COMIFAC webmaster.
