Cross River State is a coastal state in southeastern Nigeria, bordering Cameroon to the east. Its capital is at Calabar, and it is named for the Cross River, which passes through the state. Ejagham and Efik are major languages of this state.
Objectives
Nigeria's forests reserve is fast depleting with about 90% already lost to deforestation. Cross River State is proud to be home to over 50% of the country's remaining rain forest. The Cross River State Forest has been adjudged as one of 25 biodiversity hotspots in the world. Therefore, the State Government is desirous of ensuring sustainable economic value from the forests.
The goal is to harness its vantage position as the world's second largest rain forest beginning with a shift from absolute conservation to an aggressive regeneration program which will entail massive afforestation and hybrid cross border financing.
The intention is to create pockets of efficiencies that mitigate abuses, trigger effective stakeholders' engagement and activate out of the box opportunity ladder for the people of the State. The State Government's vision within the renewed partnership with the United Nations REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) programme is to create catalytic footprints in this space through a regimented afforestation initiative with a sustainable, community-based enforcement team - the Green Police.
