Management / Conservation
Liberia’s Forestry Development Authority (FDA) plays a vital role in safeguarding and sustainably managing the nation’s forest resources. As the country’s primary regulatory body, the FDA ensures that all forestry activities are conducted legally, responsibly, and with respect for the environment. Its mandate focuses not only on regulating forest use but also on protecting these resources from illegal practices, guaranteeing that Liberia’s forests remain a source of ecological and economic value for generations to come.
Forest Resources
Liberian forests represent over half of the remaining rainforests in West Africa, and they are dominated by moist evergreen forests and semi-deciduous forests.
Our Responsibility
FDA is in charge of overseeing and managing the nation’s forest resources, which number more than 4.3 million hectares, or almost 45% of the total land area.
