http://www.fao.org/forestry/en/ Colonel Racine Diallo, First Counsellor, Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development, Senegal explains why the Sustainable Development Goals are an important global reference, including for Africa. Forests are an important sector in Africa, particularly for local communities, for whom they represent the main source of revenue for agroforestry and pastoral populations. Forestry conservation efforts are therefore important also for the protection of global forest ecosystems. Forests are linked to all the SDGs, thanks to their regulatory and protective functions and contribute to the economies of African countries.
