The Congo Basin forests are a lifeline for more than 60 million people -- providing food and income for many remote communities, storing huge amounts of carbon, supporting unique ecosystems and regulating the flow of the major rivers across Central Africa. Yet the Congo's forests are being cleared at an alarming rate amid global demand for minerals, energy and wood resources from Africa. Research into the issues facing the Congo Basin is more critical than ever.

With chronic instability in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the implosion of the Central African Republic, poaching has spiraled out of control. With China economic surge leading to a growing demand for resources, Africa's last great herds of elephants are in serious danger of becoming extinct.
Forest elephant populations are reported to have declined by sixty two percent. The Okapi Faunal Reserve HQ at Epulu, in the east of the DRC, has been attacked and destroyed by local militias backed and supported by powerful military elements, identified by the United Nations.

The Congo River (also known as the Zaire River; French: (le) fleuve Congo / Zaïre; Portuguese: rio Congo / Zaire) is a river in Africa and the world's deepest river with measured depths in excess of 220 m (720 ft). It is the second largest river in the world by discharge (after the Amazon). The Congo-Chambeshi river has an overall length of 4,700 km (2,920 mi), which makes it the ninth longest river (in terms of discharge, the Chambeshi is a tributary of the Lualaba River, Lualaba being the name of the Congo River upstream of the Boyoma Falls, extending for 1,800 km). Measured along the Lualaba, the Congo River has a total length of 4,370 km (2,715 mi), The Congo Basin has a total area of about 4 million km2, or 13% of the entire African landmass.

One of the oldest populations in the world, the Bayaka, commonly referred to as pygmies are in danger of losing their identity and their home, the forests of the Congo Basin. Deforestation caused by mining and logging concessions are at the centre of this ecological and human tragedy.
National laws offer very few rights for Central Africa's forest people, and even lands that have been occupied by them for many generations can be taken away at will, and handed over to companies to exploit for their timber.
Maps of the Congo Basin often make it appear empty of human settlement, giving rise to the erroneous belief that these lands are an unoccupied 'wilderness' available for others to use.
As they are semi-nomadic people, local authorities are not able to track their existence, so the Bayaka use GPS systems to create their own maps and become visible. These Maps are also a good tool to show the resources they depend on.
Their mission is also to protect the second lung of the world. They can play a vital role in climate regulation.
For the last ten years, the Rainforest Foundation UK has been helping local African organisations to carry out mapping with forest communities giving people such as the Bayaka Pygmies a means to gain greater control of their lives and to protect their environment.......

We have selected 100 unique places on Earth that are projected to
undergo profound changes within the next few generations.
We based our selection of the 100 places on the 4th Assessment
Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Simply by drawing attention to the beauty of these places, 100 Places to
Remember Before they Disappear creates an argument to preserve
them.
The 100 Places we have chosen to highlight, and the people who
live in them, are in serious danger because of rising sea levels, rising
temperatures and extreme weather events triggered by climate change.

Congo Basin · Democratic Republic of Congo
Deep in the Heart of Africa
The Mbuti pygmies live in the Ituri Forest in the north-east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Mbuti are nomads and the forest serves as the foundation for their culture and livelihood, sustaining them spiritually as well as materially.
Pygmies grow to between 130 and 150 cm tall and the Mbuti are one of many groups that live along the Congo Basin, which stretches from Cameroon in the west to Zambia in the south-east.
This vast region contains the worlds second largest tropical rainforest, surpassed in size only by the Amazon. The Congo Basin is one of the most species-rich areas in the world. Around 90% of the region remains untouched, but deforestation threatens to change this.
If logging continues at its present rate, half of the rainforest will vanish in the next 50 years, putting the livelihood of the Mbuti at risk and endangering rare species such as the okapi, chimpanzee, leopard, elephant and buffalo, all of which live in the Ituri Forest.
Deforestation results in large amounts of CO2 being released into the atmosphere. In 2004, a massive 8.4 billion tons of CO2 were emitted worldwide as a result of deforestation. This is equivalent to a quarter of the global emissions from fossil fuels.
The Mbuti live in harmony with the forest, which they call father/mother. Nomadic hunter-gatherers, they build temporary huts from branches and leaves. Between the ages of nine and twelve, Mbuti boys undergo a manhood ritual to learn how to survive and support their families. They are circumcised and sent out into the forest for five months, clad in skirts made from plant fibre. Apart from singing, they are not allowed to use their voices, and their mouths are symbolically covered by leaves. Their bodies are decorated with clay and whipped to strengthen them for adulthood.

Congo Basin
The Congo Basin is the sedimentary basin of the Congo River, located in west equatorial Africa. The broad region is sometimes known simply as the Congo.
The basin begins in the highlands of the East African Rift system with input from the Chambeshi River, the Uele and Ubangi Rivers in the upper reaches and the Lualaba River draining wetlands in the middle reaches. Due to the young age and active uplift of the East African Rift at the headlands, the river's yearly sediment load is very large but the drainage basin occupies large areas of low relief throughout much of its area. The basin is a total of 3.7 million square kilometers and is home to some of the largest undisturbed stands of tropical rainforest on the planet, in addition to large wetlands. The basin ends where the river empties its load in the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean. The climate is equatorial tropical, with two rainy seasons including very high rainfalls, and high temperature year round. The basin is home to the endangered western lowland gorilla.

One of the oldest populations in the world, the Bayaka, commonly referred to as pygmies are in danger of losing their identity and their home, the forests of the Congo Basin. Deforestation caused by mining and logging concessions are at the centre of this ecological and human tragedy.
National laws offer very few rights for Central Africa's forest people, and even lands that have been occupied by them for many generations can be taken away at will, and handed over to companies to exploit for their timber.
Maps of the Congo Basin often make it appear empty of human settlement, giving rise to the erroneous belief that these lands are an unoccupied 'wilderness' available for others to use.
As they are semi-nomadic people, local authorities are not able to track their existence, so the Bayaka use GPS systems to create their own maps and become visible. These Maps are also a good tool to show the resources they depend on.
Their mission is also to protect the second lung of the world. They can play a vital role in climate regulation.
For the last ten years, the Rainforest Foundation UK has been helping local African organisations to carry out mapping with forest communities giving people such as the Bayaka Pygmies a means to gain greater control of their lives and to protect their environment.......

We have selected 100 unique places on Earth that are projected to
undergo profound changes within the next few generations.
We based our selection of the 100 places on the 4th Assessment
Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Simply by drawing attention to the beauty of these places, 100 Places to
Remember Before they Disappear creates an argument to preserve
them.
The 100 Places we have chosen to highlight, and the people who
live in them, are in serious danger because of rising sea levels, rising
temperatures and extreme weather events triggered by climate change.

Congo Basin · Democratic Republic of Congo
Deep in the Heart of Africa
The Mbuti pygmies live in the Ituri Forest in the north-east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Mbuti are nomads and the forest serves as the foundation for their culture and livelihood, sustaining them spiritually as well as materially.
Pygmies grow to between 130 and 150 cm tall and the Mbuti are one of many groups that live along the Congo Basin, which stretches from Cameroon in the west to Zambia in the south-east.
This vast region contains the worlds second largest tropical rainforest, surpassed in size only by the Amazon. The Congo Basin is one of the most species-rich areas in the world. Around 90% of the region remains untouched, but deforestation threatens to change this.
If logging continues at its present rate, half of the rainforest will vanish in the next 50 years, putting the livelihood of the Mbuti at risk and endangering rare species such as the okapi, chimpanzee, leopard, elephant and buffalo, all of which live in the Ituri Forest.
Deforestation results in large amounts of CO2 being released into the atmosphere. In 2004, a massive 8.4 billion tons of CO2 were emitted worldwide as a result of deforestation. This is equivalent to a quarter of the global emissions from fossil fuels.
The Mbuti live in harmony with the forest, which they call father/mother. Nomadic hunter-gatherers, they build temporary huts from branches and leaves. Between the ages of nine and twelve, Mbuti boys undergo a manhood ritual to learn how to survive and support their families. They are circumcised and sent out into the forest for five months, clad in skirts made from plant fibre. Apart from singing, they are not allowed to use their voices, and their mouths are symbolically covered by leaves. Their bodies are decorated with clay and whipped to strengthen them for adulthood.
