Woman in Abandoned Log Camp
Portrait of an old woman smiling. She lives in an abandoned Sodefor logging workers’ camp at Nteno, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Expansion of logging into remaining areas of intact forests in the Democratic Republic of the Congo will destroy globally critical carbon reserves and impact biodiversity. Beyond environmental impacts, logging in the region exacerbates poverty and leads to social conflicts. The DRC’s rainforests are critical for its inhabitants, who depend upon the rainforests to provide essential food, medicine, and other non-timber products, along with energy and building materials. Logging is viewed by the World Bank and other donors as a way to alleviate poverty and promote economic development.
