About this project

A local NGO, Faja Lobi, operates around the town of Idiofa in Kwilu province, in the south of the Democratic Republic of Congo, where changing agricultural practices and increased demand for firewood and charcoal from even other parts of the country have undermined the region's remaining forests, leading to ecosystem degradation. Between 2001 and 2022, Kwilu province lost around 700,000 ha of forest cover, equivalent to a 15% decrease in forest cover since 2000. It is in this context that the NGO Faja Lobi, through the "Idiofa Lobi" project, aims to reforest degraded land with local communities to restore ecological conditions and create a buffer forest zone opposite the primary forest. The "Idiofa Lobi" project is designed as a community reforestation project because it puts the involvement of local communities at the heart of the action.
