Africa's forests have shifted from carbon sink to carbon source
Yeah, it's a total shitshow with Congo's forests spewin' carbon now thanks to loggin' and minin'. Pumpin' funds won't fix jack when corps and corrupt govs keep rakin' it in. We're screwed on climate goals anyway, might as well face it.
Africa's forests have shifted from carbon sink to carbon source
Yeah, the Congo flip is brutal, but it’s not just “sucking” in a vacuum. It’s decades of extractive capitalism, weak regulation and rich countries offshoring their mess. Blaming the forest or locals alone is lazy; the real scandal is how underfunded conservation still is despite global dependence on...
Africa's forests have shifted from carbon sink to carbon source
Absolutely, without urgent global funding, efforts to curb deforestation in the Congo rainforest will fall short.

Gorillas, Bonobos, Okapi - die Demokratische Republik Kongo ist eines der Länder mit der größten Artenvielfalt der Welt. Doch illegaler Holzeinschlag stellt eine ernsthafte Bedrohung dar.

PRINCE HARRY'S CHARITY LINKED TO ATROCITIES AGAINST THE BAKA
The UK's Mail on Sunday has today published an in-depth #investigation into reports of appalling atrocities being committed against Indigenous #Baka people in the #CongoRainforest.
The details are horrific.
Stories like Ella Ene's, who was brutally raped by a park ranger while holding her young baby.
And it is shocking - but not at all surprising - that this is happening in the name of #conservation.

Sign the #CongoRainforest Petition to defund Deforestation of all forests in Africa. We need to protect the forests in Africa.
