The six countries of central Africa Camrroon, Central African Republic, the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Zaire contain the largest remaining contiguous expanse of moist tropical forest on the African continent and the second largest in the world. This moist forest and the drier woodlands that bound it hold a vast reservoir of carbon. The pressures on this immense resource, Largely due to rapid populatoion growth, inappropriate macro-economic policies, economic downturns, and weak management, are causing deforestation rates to increase. If clearing rates of carbon will be released into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide thus contributing to global climate change...
