Book Synopsis Deforestation Trends in the Congo Basin by : Carole Megevand
Book excerpt: Deforestation rates in the Congo Basin are among the lowest in the tropical rainforest belt and are significantly below rates in most other African regions. Local and regional development, population increases and global demand for commodities are likely to increase deforestation and forest degradation in the Congo Basin.
