Improving Livelihoods through Landscape Management in West Africa
The success of the LAMIL project in Guinea has created enormous interest in integrated landscape management in neighbouring Sierra Leone and Liberia.

Dr. Mahmoud Camara, Guinean Minister for Agriculture, Livestock, Environment, Water and Forests
In response to global concerns regarding the social, environmental and economic consequences of poor landscape management, CIFOR and the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) launched the Landscape Management for Improved Livelihoods (LAMIL) project in September 2005. more

The host of the event – CIFOR - asked of the speakers what should research on landscapes address and who should be the recipients of the outputs of that research? more
