Additional Information of Eligibility:
The Congo Basin and its people are increasingly under threat.

Slash and burn agriculture, urbanization, rapid population growth, charcoal production, deforestation, illegal logging and mining, and the bushmeat trade, all contribute to environmental degradation.

The Congo Basin Conclave conceives of a cross-sectional approach to “smart” development that balances economic opportunities for local communities and protections for indigenous peoples.

The Conclave seeks to bring together local stakeholders to build networks that support projects that invest in the people of the Congo Basin, who stand to benefit the most from a healthy, sustainable environment.
