This rainforest also plays a vital role in regulating the global climate. Intact forest landscapes - the last remaining large areas of natural forests - are the most resilient to climate change and contain the biggest carbon stock of all forests. Eighty per cent of Africa’s intact forest landscapes are in the DRC - the fourth largest forest carbon reservoir of any country on Earth. Increased international demand for commodities and natural resources has led to large scale industrial logging, which is devastating the rainforest and the people and animals that live there.
