The ‘-Global Challenge Program - Forest for Development, Climate and Biodiversity-- (GCP-F) is focusing on forest role to address the growing and interconnected crises of poverty, climate change, and biodiversity loss and to enhance forest landscapes- contribution to People and Planet on: (i) Climate change (Carbon sequestration, carbon storage, substitution of carbon-intensive products, (ii) biodiversity (water, land erosion, pollination, soil fertility, flood control), and (iii) economic impact (Growth, employment, improved livelihoods).Upper Guinean forests a focus of the GCP-F in West Africa provide critical ecosystem services to support economies, communities, and stabilize climate. Stretching from Guinea through eastern Sierra Leone, and extending eastward through Liberia, Côte d-Ivoire, Ghana and western Togo. Upper Guinean forests have long been recognized as a global biodiversity hotspot due to their rich biodiversity and exceptional concentrations of endemic species. Beyond their biodiversity significance, these forests make important contributions to national economies. Poor forest-dwelling communities are disproportionately dependent on forests for their livelihoods. Furthermore, on a global scale, these forests play a vital role in mitigating climate change by regulating local and regional climates.Deforestation and degradation of the Upper Guinean Forests pose serious threats to the sustainable provision of their ecosystem services.
