Kulondwa's work depicts the "circus of corruption and environmental crimes," which has long characterised the forestry sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo and has been confirmed by a recent official audit of the Congolese industrial logging sector. His illustrations also emphasise the need for permanent forest protection to #SaveCongoRainforest.
