Title: The summit of the “three basins of biodiversity ecosystems and tropical forests”: essential cooperation in the fight against deforestation.
Introduction :
Head of State Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi recently went to Brazzaville to participate in the summit of “three basins of biodiversity ecosystems and tropical forests”. This major event aims to coordinate policies to combat deforestation and protect the climate. The Congo, Amazon and Borneo-Mekong basins represent 80% of the world’s tropical forests and play a crucial role in regulating the carbon footprint. This summit will also establish a global cooperation agreement for an alliance aimed at protecting these ecosystems.
The challenges of the fight against deforestation:
Deforestation is a global problem that has serious consequences for the environment and climate. Tropical forests are natural carbon sinks, absorbing a large part of CO2 emissions. However, massive deforestation reduces their ability to play this role, thus contributing to global warming. Additionally, the biodiversity of tropical forests is unique and irreplaceable, home to many animal and plant species. The destruction of these ecosystems leads to an irreversible loss of biodiversity.
International cooperation for the protection of ecosystems:
To face these challenges, it is essential that countries cooperate and coordinate their efforts to combat deforestation and protect biodiversity. The summit of the “three basins of biodiversity ecosystems and tropical forests” is a unique opportunity to bring together key players in the region to discuss strategies and actions to be implemented. This summit will establish a blueprint for global governance and put in place an alliance to protect these precious ecosystems.
The role of the Democratic Republic of Congo:
The Democratic Republic of Congo occupies a central place in this issue, with its equatorial forest which represents the second largest forest massif in the world. With its 155 million hectares of forest, the country is home to nearly 10% of the world’s tropical forests. President Tshisekedi’s participation in this summit reflects the country’s commitment to protecting its natural heritage and its desire to contribute to the global solution to combat global warming.
Conclusion :
The summit of the “three basins of biodiversity ecosystems and tropical forests” is a crucial step in the fight against deforestation and the protection of biodiversity. Cooperation between the countries of these basins will make it possible to put in place policies and concerted actions to preserve these precious ecosystems.. The participation of the Democratic Republic of Congo demonstrates its commitment to the protection of its natural heritage. It is essential that efforts to combat deforestation continue and intensify in order to preserve our planet for future generations.
