place speckles also broken into it. all the sacrifices are worth it when it comes to save the trees let's make a plan and. but i jus money is just a small part of the bigger picture when it comes to the conservation of africa's forests zeek it was like a forest is a tiny fragment of the huge tract of rain forest that stretches from uganda in the east all the way to cameroon in the west now the bonn on the atlanta coast is still home to largely untouched forests which the country is determined to preserve. i am now joined by the whiting is good bonds minister off forest ocean environment and climate change welcome to date of the africa professor so you have just come into office you came in in june really because of the misdeeds off your predecessor what exactly had happened that there was a bit of a scandal with corruption in the forestry sector 10000 cubic meters

of illegal which showed up in court. when the president was obliged to remove the vice president the previous minister forestry complicity so one of my jobs is to clean up the 1st receptor and while some of the main challenges that you off a sink in ensuring that you can protect this environment my 1st job is is to make sure that all of the forestry and give all is sustainable well the you know who is president president so he took the decision to make certification obligatory for all forestry companies at the seaside because from 2 bunchy 22 onwards so we're putting in place a series of measures that will make forestry transparent and will guarantee that forestry is not only good economy but it's good for wildlife and biodiversity it's

good for the climate and it's good for the people that live in the forests. and that's actually not i don't think that difficult a job and in fact the other parts of my my job minister climate change minister the ocean so are in the long term of the medium much more challenging to deal with climate change obviously get on cannot actually so we have to figure out it's all at the international community to deal with the plastics it's the same thing it's a big international issue a little cabinet he has a certain voice it is in talks about industry and having to engage on that. friend but i wonder if it is difficult to convince people who depend on the forests to survive to get on board with you gov as a. slightly different country we are the size of the u.k. but we only have a population of 1800000 people and 87 percent of our people live in

cities so the rural areas are actually quite empty there are not that many people out in these rural areas. the way the lorry structured here a certain percentage of the route but when used from forestry. go into local communities and so as long as we apply those laws properly and one of the reasons i know the minister is that they happen in the past and apply perfectly zones repliers those properly to make them and we make sure that no communities are getting real benefit. it's from forestry we don't have much of a conflict going into bond between the forest living people bull and this this this for our street industry right minnesota bring in a deal here that's been called historic that's a deal with norway and as i understand it millions off the dial is from no way will

benefits the biodiversity benefits the ecosystem service benefits and the benefit suits the forest make up a much more likable but richard miss traditionally forest carbon is undervalued by the international market the reason we signed an agreement with norway is because they recognise our efforts to reduce emissions from the forestry sector and the fact is that we've been most forested going to show the planet that 88 percent forest cover you know deforestation rate is 0.012 and one can lower the forest to fish and write something new on the planet certain has been going on has taken action over the last 15 to 20 years to put in place well it says that allows us to develop country whilst saving the rain forests that's to me why it's incumbent on minister off the forest ocean environment and practical thank you for your time say . and that is that when alphonso is africa as always you can catch all stories on
