The World Bank has declared war on nature
The World Bank decides to destroy the 2nd largest forest in the world
The rainforest in the Congo is the second largest forest after the Amazon. The trees, soils and ecosystem locks 8 percent of our planet’s carbon. This ecosystem, through a multitude of services, provides medicine, shelter, timber and food for 40 million people. Today, the World Bank working indirecly with the UK Government, has decided to strip the forest of its timber, displace the local culture, and export its value to foreign markets.
The Guardian says “The World Bank encouraged foreign companies to destructively log the world’s second largest forest, endangering the lives of thousands of Congolese Pygmies, according to a report on an internal investigation by senior bank staff and outside experts”.
