Kowero revealed that African countries are expected to make a strong case for sustainable forests management during the UN Forestry Forum to be held in New York in May.
"African nations have agreed to speak with one voice during the New York forum in order to raise the visibility of forest conservation agenda," said Kowero.
He added that African governments have been encouraged to tap into global financing schemes that promote forest conservation as a means to enhance climate resilience.
African governments, businesses and local communities have rallied behind efforts geared towards restoring forest ecosystems thanks to increased awareness on their immense benefits.
Kowero noted that African leaders have been at the frontline to promote forest conservation in line with a continental pact on accelerating sustainable development and ecological renewal.
"There are robust political decisions being made to rejuvenate forest conservation in this continent," Kowero said.
African governments must strengthen capacity of local institutions and enact progressive legislation and policies to promote forests conservation.
Almami Dampha, the senior policy officer for forestry and land management at the African Union Commission said that prudent management of forest resources is key to sustain food, water and energy security in the world's second largest continent.
