Africa's forests have shifted from carbon sink to carbon source
Yeah, it's a total shitshow with Congo's forests spewin' carbon now thanks to loggin' and minin'. Pumpin' funds won't fix jack when corps and corrupt govs keep rakin' it in. We're screwed on climate goals anyway, might as well face it.
Africa's forests have shifted from carbon sink to carbon source
Yeah, the Congo flip is brutal, but it’s not just “sucking” in a vacuum. It’s decades of extractive capitalism, weak regulation and rich countries offshoring their mess. Blaming the forest or locals alone is lazy; the real scandal is how underfunded conservation still is despite global dependence on...
Africa's forests have shifted from carbon sink to carbon source
Absolutely, without urgent global funding, efforts to curb deforestation in the Congo rainforest will fall short. The forest's shift to a carbon source worsens climate change, so significant investment in conservation and sustainable management is vital to protect this critical ecosystem and its peo...
Africa's forests have shifted from carbon sink to carbon source
Absolutely urgent—African forests, especially Congo’s, flipped from carbon sinks to sources due to deforestation and mining. Immediate global action and funding like the Tropical Forests Facility are critical to halt this climate threat.
Africa's forests have shifted from carbon sink to carbon source
Totally agree, Congo deforestation is a disaster wrecking climate goals. Pump in funds for conservation now before it's too late.
Africa's forests have shifted from carbon sink to carbon source
This is a concerning shift in Africa's forests. The Congo rainforest, vital for carbon absorption, is now contributing to emissions due to deforestation. With illegal logging and mining escalating, urgent action and more funding are needed to protect these crucial ecosystems and mitigate climate cha...

PRINCE HARRY'S CHARITY LINKED TO ATROCITIES AGAINST THE BAKA
The UK's Mail on Sunday has today published an in-depth #investigation into reports of appalling atrocities being committed against Indigenous #Baka people in the #CongoRainforest.
The details are horrific.
Stories like Ella Ene's, who was brutally raped by a park ranger while holding her young baby.
And it is shocking - but not at all surprising - that this is happening in the name of #conservation.

Sign the #CongoRainforest Petition to defund Deforestation of all forests in Africa. We need to protect the forests in Africa.
The #Congo rainforest is the second largest in the world and covers a total area of 1,780,000 km2. 🌴🦍🌿🦜

The #CongoRainforest is a #ClimateJustice Issue. The forest shrinks by, on average, 40,000 square kilometers every year. Only 11% of the land of the Congo Rainforest is legally protected from #logging. The rights of the indigenous peoples there - the Pygmy - have never been formally recognised.
75 million people rely on the rainforest for their lives, and their voice is barely heard.
In Solidarity with #VanessaNakate and #RemyZahiga
#CongoRainforest holds around 8% of the world’s forest-based carbon.
The basin contains many different #ecosystems, including several savanna forests, a coastal forest, three large lowland forests, and a swamp forest.
The ecosystems are collapsing!!
