Abstract

PARENTI, CHRISTIAN | October 22, 2007 issue

add to cart   close window

The article reports on logging threats to the rainforests of the Congo Basin in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Ironically, the carbon-absorbing forests have been protected from exploitation by the country's history of strife, but the DRC has stabilized enough for timber companies to move in. The article traces the impact of one U.S. timber firm, Safbois, owned by the Blattner Group.
