On February 11, 2019 – The legal rights to manage local forests, recently awarded to communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), have the potential to improve lives and protect the country’s block of equatorial rainforest, according to a new film from the Rainforest Foundation UK.
“Our forest has lots of natural resources, and now we can find solutions to better manage them,” Florence, a woman from the village of Irebu, says in the six-and-a-half-minute film.
