CONTEXT
The DR. Congo hosts the second biggest bloc forest in the world, just behind Brazil. The surface of the
country is 2.345.410 km2 and the forest occupies 53% of it (1.250.000 km2).
60 % of the population is rural, thus lives from the exploitation of the forest.
According to the satellite images from the “Earth and Live Institute” of the UCL “ Université Catholique
de Louvain”, between 31st January 2003 and 03rd July 2004, the National Park of Virunga, the biggest in
the country, lost 15 km2 of it’s forest!
You can imagine the damage for the country as well as for the Earth Planet.

ACTIONS
Once back to my country, I’ll undertake contacts with the REDD+ desk in Congo for a coordinated action
as described widely in the homework this afternoon, meanwhile pushing for the creation of my still up
coming CTF.
