Forest Resource

Forests and woodland

Extensive equatorial rainforest supports exceptional biodiversity and a large commercial timber resource. The forest estate includes production concessions, protected areas and community forests.

Management

Forest management

Forest concessions increasingly operate under management plans that regulate harvest cycles, species selection and regeneration. Certification and traceability are important components of the export timber sector.

Industry

Forestry and wood products

Gabon produces sawn timber, veneer, plywood and value-added wood products. Domestic processing has expanded as the country seeks to retain more value from its forest resource.
