The Congo Basin Forest is the second largest tropical rainforest on earth! It’s home to a dazzling variety of animals, birds, plants and millions of people too. Ground-breaking scientific research shows that the forest floor contains a vast amount of carbon - the equivalent of three years worth of all the fossil fuel left in the world. There are so many powerful reasons we need to protect this precious forest.
The Greenpeace ship Esperanza is sailing down the coast of Central Africa, visiting Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo and Republic of Congo to hear from communities who care about the forest and discuss solutions to help protect it.
