Graduate students contribute to better management of Congolese forests

With the aim of contributing to economic development in DRC, Jean-Pierre Ngongo decided to study for a Ph.D. in sustainable forest management at the University of Kisangani. The support received allows him to conduct high-level research using remote sensing technologies to study tree population dynamics. He is one of more than 220 students that have graduated from this program with a master or doctoral degree since 2007.
