Two Gambian forestry officials flew to China for meetings about keeping forests sustainable and went to the big industry conference happening at the same time. Ebrima Jawara and Sisawoh Sabally linked up with reps from other developing countries under a cooperation program funded by the Chinese Commerce Ministry.
The Gambia crew talked about how they are restructuring their forest system back home by letting communities control more land and bringing military personnel into enforcement roles. They also mentioned working on bushfire policies and getting private companies involved in managing forests better. Both guys said they picked up useful knowledge from seeing how China handles natural resources that they can apply when they get back.
