NO This Assessment examines the current legal, scientific, and institutional frameworks for protecting biodiversity in Liberia. It focuses on the laws and regulations that directly address biodiversity and is meant to assist Liberia in identifying opportunities for steps to further conserve and sustainably manage its biological resources. The assessment has been conducted against the backdrop of a broad legal reform effort now taking place in Liberia by the Liberia Forest Initiative (LFI), a partnership of government, international, and non-government organizations working to rehabilitate and reform Liberia’s forestry sector and build capacity for the promotion of sustainable forest management. LFI was the driving force behind a new forestry law enacted in 2006 and is continuing to work on drafting the implementing forestry. regulations, model contracts codes, and manuals. This assessment discusses issues of overlapping concern with the LFI, such as protected areas species protection and trade in species.
