| Samenvatting |
New laws governing forestry in DRC are presently in preparation, and the 'development' of the country's forests is being planned by international agencies including the World Bank. Linked with planned new investments, this could result in a 60-fold increase in the rate of logging. The future of the world's second largest area of rainforest, and the many millions of people who live in it, is thus at stake. The Rainforest Foundation believes that plans for this development should be suspended until the necessary safeguards have been put in place.
