Vandaele lets Congolese politicians have their say, explores how Congo as a biodiversity superpower struggles to protect it, (including in its immense natural parks) and what role carbon credits and local community forests can play in protecting the forests. Biodiversity also includes viruses: the current situation in and around Congo's forests increases the risk of zoonoses: will the next pandemic occur in Congo?
The first part of the project: 'The forests of Congo' can be consulted here.
