TRF Biodiversity – D.R.C.

The Congo Basin, home to some of the world's most diverse tropical rainforests, faces significant biodiversity threats due to subsistence agriculture, illegal logging, oil exploration, civil strife, and mining. These activities lead to environmental degradation, species loss, and increased CO2 release, impacting ecosystems and local livelihoods. Solutions include expanding conservation areas, seeking government support, and promoting eco-tourism. Addressing these issues is crucial to balance economic needs with biodiversity conservation for a sustainable future in the region.
