ENVIRONMENTAL LANDSCAPE<br />
Giving value to the Congo Basin, the world’s<br />
second largest rainforest<br />
We ensure that vital ecosystems are<br />
maintained and continue to thrive, for<br />
the planet and for future generations.<br />
We protect over 27% of the forest<br />
from harvesting, to safeguard sensible<br />
and valuable ecosystems. The forest<br />
provides a habitat for over 70'000<br />
lowland gorillas. In the rest of the<br />
area, we determine high conservation<br />
values – environmental aspects<br />
which deserve special attention so<br />
they are not compromised or eroded<br />
through forest management activities.<br />
Our forest management not only<br />
takes care to avoid degradation<br />
of the forest we work in, but our forest<br />
guards actively secure the forest<br />
estate against poaching and illegal<br />
settlement.<br />

the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow<br />
it from our children (click here or scan<br />

We strongly believe this to be true<br />
for the forest of the Congo Basin,<br />
where we work.<br />
