Deanna M. Wolfire, Jake Brunner, and Nigel Sizer The advent of the new government in the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) offers the opportunity to explore fresh policy options and priorities in preserving some of the last remaining "frontier forest" tracts in Africa. This report recommends what areas need attention and what policies should be adopted to promote renewed forest stewardship and sound environmental management that had been neglected during the decades of the Mobutu dictatorship and the subsequent civil war. The authors argue that proper husbanding of the country's forest resources can act as a stimulant to the economic growth that is so needed in the aftermath of dictatorship and civil war. 1998 / 30 pages |
