Protecting the forest in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Meer over het boek

The book explores the critical dilemma facing the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the need for forest preservation clashes with socio-economic development aspirations. It highlights the importance of the DRC's vast tropical forests in global ecological balance while addressing the pressing need for local economic growth through forest exploitation. By examining international environmental law, the author argues for a balanced approach that includes compensation for conservation efforts, emphasizing that sustainable solutions must consider both ecological and socio-economic factors.
