The Land System and Sustainable Land Management Unit of the Institute of Geography is organising a conference on its SUSTAINFORESTS research project. A group of researchers from the Unit undertook a six-month field research in Tropical forest patches, spread across the rainforest and savannah zones of Togo, Benin, Nigeria, and Cameroon. The emerging research findings will be presented and discussed with a cross-section of government officials, policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and students, among other social actors. The conference will connect issues on ecological conditions, livelihoods, governance, and climate change mitigation, in explaining why some forests persist while others degrade and what future pathways could sustain these forests.
