| Abstract (English): |
The document highlights the degradation of the tropical forests in the Congo Basin due to illegal activities such as logging and mining, threatening biodiversity and carbon sequestration. Management and protection efforts are necessary to preserve this region essential for ecological and climate balance. The fight against illegal forest exploitation involves organizations such as the WCO, UNODC, and INTERPOL, facing endemic corruption and low accountability in resource-rich countries. Priority actions are needed to strengthen regional and international cooperation. [Extracted from the article] |
| Abstract (French): |
Le document met en lumière la dégradation des forêts tropicales du bassin du Congo due à des activités illégales telles que l'exploitation forestière et minière, menaçant la biodiversité et la séquestration du carbone. Des efforts de gestion et de protection sont nécessaires pour préserver cette région essentielle pour l'équilibre écologique et climatique. La lutte contre l'exploitation illégale des forêts implique des organisations telles que l'OMD, l'ONUDC et INTERPOL, face à la corruption endémique et la faible redevabilité dans les pays riches en ressources naturelles. Des actions prioritaires sont nécessaires pour renforcer la coopération régionale et internationale. [Extracted from the article] |
