For the people of Gabon, a sustainable<a href=\"https:\/\/www.csregypt.com\/en\/four-green-skills-vital-for-green-economy\/\"> green economy<\/a> is about improving people\u2019s livelihoods and preserving the biodiversity and the ecosystem services generated by the Congo Basin.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">For Marilou and many community members, adopting sustainable fishing practices and ramping up conservation efforts have had a big impact in the community and transformed the lives of the people in the area. Through the World Bank financed Sustainable Management of Critical Wetlands Ecosystems Project (PAZH) and other initiatives, communities in the region of Lambar\u00e9n\u00e9 now understand the importance of preserving the ecosystem services and how it affects their livelihoods and their future.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Fisherfolks can no longer use monofilament nets or other unsustainable techniques to fish. Some areas are restricted to fishing. This has helped improve the fish stock. As a result, people like Marilou and other members of her cooperative have been able to catch bigger fish and increase their income.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Gabon is endowed with exceptional biodiversity, hosting part of the Congo Basin rainforest, known as the lungs of Africa. Its rich forests and wetlands provide livelihood opportunities for thousands of Gabonese, and fishing is Gabon&#8217;s main subsistence activity. It is one of the few nations around the world that already have a carbon-negative economy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The central African country has 88% forest cover which annually absorbs carbon emissions equivalent to a third of France\u2019s annual emissions. The creation of 13 national parks &#8211; covering almost 11 % of the territory &#8211; has helped maintain the country\u2019s forest cover. Gabon has become a strong advocate and leader in the fight against climate change and is hosting this week the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unfccc.int\/ACW2022\">Africa Climate week<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">In these efforts, the World Bank is committed to supporting the government develop its blue and green economy by helping them identify new pathways for sustainable and resilient growth through a series of studies.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">As people navigate the Ogoou\u00e9 river, the intricate mangrove cover, the sparkle of the papyrus, the depth of the swamp forest boarded by large majestic fromager trees present a breathtaking scenery for the travelers. The rich ecosystem of the region of Bas-Ogoou\u00e9 was placed on the World Heritage List of wetlands of international importance in 2009 as a\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/fr\/ramsar\/\">Ramsar<\/a>\u00a0protected site.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">For the eco-guard manager Guy Philips Sounguet who manages the Ramsar site, \u201cIt is critical to preserve the wetlands, its waters and rich biodiversity including papyrus, that play an important role in carbon sequestration. The change is visible since we\u2019ve started monitoring and we raised awareness. We realized that many practices involved lots of game fish and even fishing methods and techniques that were prohibited\u201d.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">This fight against climate change will require continued support from government and private sector to community champions such as Marilou and Guy Philips. This week\u2019s Africa climate week is an opportunity to discuss how the vast blue and green resources of the country can be further leveraged to generate wealth for Gabon.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gabon has become a champion in protecting the environment, in raising climate issues awareness and setting a vision for a Green and Blue Gabon.
