A coalition of non-governmental organizations (NGO) under the banner NGO Coalition and international partners on Tuesday, March 20, 2018 observed International Day of Forest Celebration. This year’s celebration by NGO Coalition and partners in Liberia was held at the Corina Hotel under the theme: “Save Liberia’s Tropical Forest, Save Liberia’s Future”. “The forest sector still has potential, and when managed well, it can generate revenues and reduce environmental damage and threats to rural livelihoods”, he disclosed. “Dialoguing on these laws, polices and or agreements to improve governance and equitable management of Liberia’s forest is important”, he said. At the end of the day, host communities are victimized and left vulnerable much to the surprise of international partners who work 24 hours around the clock to ensure equitable distribution of those resources.
