Elderly Woman Living on Boat
An elderly woman lives on boat, which travels along the river selling products along the way. Many are homeless and survive from the small trade they make. The World Bank and other donors view logging as a way to alleviate poverty and promote economic development. Expansion of logging into remaining areas of intact forests in the Democratic Republic of the Congo will destroy globally critical carbon reserves and impact biodiversity. Approximately 40 million people in the DRC depend on the rainforest for their basic needs, such as medicine, food or shelter.
