Definition
- The Central African Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE) is a 5 year, $14 million regional project, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to address the issue of deforestation in the Congo Basin forest zone, in the middle of the African continent. One of the least developed regions of the world, the Congo Basin, holds massive expanses of closed canopy tropical forest, second only to the Amazon Basin in area. A GIS and Remote Sensing CD-ROM product is now available as are other CARPE publications: See: "http://carpe.gecp.virginia.edu/products.htm" Partners include the following: Biodiversity Support Program "http://carpe.gecp.virginia.edu/partners/bsp/bsp.htm" NASA/University of Maryland Partnership "http://carpe.gecp.virginia.edu/partners/gsfc-umd/umdcarpe.htm" Peace Corps "http://carpe.gecp.virginia.edu/partners/pc/pccarpe.htm" U.S. Department of Agriculture/Forest Service "http://carpe.gecp.virginia.edu/partners/usfs/usfcarpe.htm" Wildlife Conservation Society "http://carpe.gecp.virginia.edu/partners/wcs/wcscarpe.htm" World Learning (PVO-NGO/NRMS) World Resources Institute "http://carpe.gecp.virginia.edu/partners/wri/wricarpe.htm" World Wildlife Fund "http://carpe.gecp.virginia.edu/partners/wwf/wwf.htm" African Government Agencies African Non-Governmental Organizations African Universities For more information, view the CARPE Home Page, hosted by the University of Virginia: "http://carpe.gecp.virginia.edu/" IDN_Node: USA/NASA (en)
