Congo Basin Rainforest
The Congo Basin Rainforest, Africa's largest tropical forest, is losing ground to small-scale agriculture and industrial logging, with the Democratic Republic of Congo accounting for 60% of the continent's tree cover loss. This hotspot has a deforestation intensity 40% lower than the Brazilian Amazon, but its annual loss of 500,000 hectares still exceeds the average for tropical regions. The basin's carbon stocks remain under threat from shifting cultivation.
