  
Global Forest Watch Gabon Report
Gabon has vast forest resources, but rapid
growth of logging activity may threaten
those resources. If managed properly,
Gabon's forests could offer long-term
revenues without compromising the
ecosystems' natural functions.
This report is the first product of a
remarkable new alliance called Global
Forest Watch (GFW), which was launched by World Resources Institute
with non-governmental organizations and local leaders from frontier
forests around the world.
This report reflects the work of seven Gabonese environmental
organizations. It is the first civil society document ever to present
complete, up-to-date, and peer reviewed information on the logging
industry in Gabon.
