We successfully held our 2025 Mid-Year Presentation session as part of efforts to assess progress on research activities, administrative goals, and strategic institutional priorities.
The event brought together scientists, research technicians, and administrative staff to present updates on ongoing projects, completed research activities, and collaborations aimed at promoting sustainable forest management, biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and livelihood improvement.
COLLOQUIUM PRESENTATION
We were honored to host Dr. David Kenfack from ForestGEO — a passionate scientist dedicated to understanding and protecting African forest ecosystems.
He shared insights on the ForestGEO Africa Program, an inspiring initiative for the long-term monitoring of African forests — a topic that impacts not just science but the future of our planet.
This session was chaired by Prof. Stephen Adu-Bredu is a leading voice in forest research.
END OF SERVICE PRESENTATION
It’s that time of the year again when we came together for one of the most insightful and reflective sessions on our calendar.
We heard directly from our National Service personnel about their journey over the past year, the experiences that shaped them, the challenges they navigated, and the lessons they gained along the way.
Our personnel have been part of our daily operations, contributing their skills, energy, and fresh perspectives. They had the floor to share their stories and offered recommendations that could help us all improve the way we work and support one another so this was not just a presentation.
