The Eastern Africa Forest observatory aims at providing a better understanding of the trends and threats to forests in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Mozambique in order to support better decision-making to improve the management of Forests. The Regional Forest Observatory will contribute to the collation and sharing of relevant data and information on Forests in East Africa and will provide support on decision-making processes to governments across the region.
