Village Elders Visit Bokweli Village School in the DRC

Village elders Edumbele David (l) and Jean-Pierre Gapa visit Bokweli village school, where Sicobois (a logging company) promised the village a school in exchange for logging in the local area. The school however, has been left unfinished. Plundered forests, physical intimidation and unfulfilled promises is the legacy of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s broken industrial logging model according to new findings from Greenpeace, after the environmental organisation visited the communities affected by the operations of logging companies.
