Scope: Efforts to conserve the forests and biodiversity of the ROC struggle to have an impact at a sufficiently large scale to outpace ecosystem and biodiversity declines. In particular, as described in the CARPE midterm evaluation, efforts to improve livelihoods that support conservation and reduce deforestation have been small-scale. The enabling environment, e.g., lack of access to capital for industries such as ecotourism or markets for sustainably produced or harvested products, has not been favorable. While law enforcement within PAs has reduced wildlife loss through the use of technology enabling improved patrolling, it is much more difficult to enforce wildlife and forest laws in areas controlled by concessions and communities. And unlike some PAs in other parts of Africa with significant tourism and trophy hunting industries, those in ROC do not generate enough income to cover their operating costs much less to provide economic benefits to local populations.
