The Congo rainforest is the heart of a continent where climate change has taken a terrible toll on human well-being.
An imperative of ubuntu is to do all we can to alleviate this suffering and prevent more.
The Congo rainforest encompasses another vast home of equatorial biodiversity (second only to Amazonia), including the okapis, bonobos, forest elephants, gray parrots, and leopards.
Climate Emergency in Africa
One of the places on Earth where people have contributed the least to the climate crisis is also among the places where people are suffering the most from climate disruption. The legacy of colonialism and exploitation leave the countries of sub-Saharan Africa ill-prepared to cope with catastrophes like cyclones, floods, and droughts. Ongoing bias and oppression make it very difficult for people in wealthier nations to hear what African activists have to say.
