The Republic of the Congo contains some of the most intact forests in the Congo Basin, including extensive peatlandsand wildlife-rich landscapes. These ecosystems are critical for carbon storage, biodiversity conservation, and transboundary connectivity, making the country a priority for CBLI interventions. The Republic of the Congo’s forests provide essential ecosystem services, support local livelihoods, and contribute to regional climate stability.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) contains more than half of the Congo Basin rainforest, making it an important country for forest conservation, biodiversity, and climate stability in Central Africa, and one of the most important globally.
