Reviews

‘It is a masterpiece.’
Minister Philip Ngwese Ngole of Forests and Wildlife in Cameroon

‘The first book I have come across which addresses all major issues related to forest conservation in the Congo Basin. It is written in a very accessible way and therefore of interest to anybody who wants to know more about the Congo Basin rainforest and central Africa.’
Professor René Boot, University of Utrecht, the Netherlands
Director of NGO Tropenbos International

‘Amazing work about solutions in nature conservation and sustainable development in Central Africa.’
Romain Beville, consultant at World Bank, Gabon

‘The book Central African Forests Forever is a key source of information and new of its kind, by its content and by its form. By its content because it treats the fundamental issues of the Central African forests of today and tomorrow, taking technological as well as social aspects into account. By its form thanks to its exceptional collection of photographs.
Altogether, I think this important book is also a valuable didactic tool and I hope that it will have a large distribution among forestry schools and universities.’
Pierre M. Desclos, global expert in forest products and forest trends
Forest Products Consultants, Rome, Italy

‘I read the book Central African Forests Forever. Fascinating read: about bonobo’s, palm oil, charcoal plantations, soil enrichment, gorilla tourism and forest preservation. But this book is more than just a good read. It is an important book, because it not only shows the vitality and diversity of the central African forests, but also demonstrates practical solutions and alternatives. Tropical forest? Use it or lose it!’
Jos Damen, Head Library African Studies Centre Leiden, the Netherlands
