Sustainable Management of Forestry Resources in the Tarrafes de Cacheu National Park (Guinee-Bissau)

The Sustainable Management of Forestry Resources in the Tarrafes de Cacheu National Park Project, co-financed by the European Union, has been implemented during the period 2012-2017.

The project, known also as Projeto Gestão Sustentável dos Recursos Florestais do Parque Natural dos Tarrafes do rio Cacheu – GSRF-PNTC (locally: “No Matu i no Firkidja”) aims to manage and conserve forests in this park, located in the northern part of the Country.

The main project objectives have been: updating and strengthening of the institutional and legal frameworks, improving the park’s management, valorization and protection of natural resources, supporting to local development, awareness and capacity building.

Two international consultants, Carlos Albuquerque and Giacomo Cozzolino for the EU delegation to Guinee-Bissau, have visited the park in the last December and thereafter provided the final evaluation of the project.
