    As we mark World Wetlands Day on February 2, 2012, the United States recognizes the critical role that wetlands in Cameroon play in peoples’ livelihoods and cultures. Wetland ecosystems provide water, food, greenhouse gas absorption, and erosion control. Primarily through USAID’s Central Africa Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE), the U.S. has contributed more than $130m under the Congo Basin Forest Partnership since 2002 to support the conservation and sustainable use of wetland areas including the Sangha River catchment area shared by Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and the Republic of Congo.
