| Gabon’s government and a coalition of donors have signed an agreement aimed at protecting 34,000 square km (13,000 square miles) of the country’s Congo Basin rainforests. Dubbed “Gabon Infini”, the plan will combine $94 million of donor money from the likes of the Global Environment Facility and the Bezos Earth Fund with $86 million of government funding over a 10-year period. It aims to finance new national parks, tackle elephant poaching and boost eco-tourism using what is known as a “Project Finance for Permanence” (PFP) model. |
