The improvement of the DRC's electrical energy supply, currently estimated at 14%, is an excellent strategy for the preservation of the Congo Basin's forests because the use of wood as a source of energy is one of the biggest drivers of deforestation in the DRC and the region.The Congo Basin is one of the largest remaining areas of continuous tropical forest on the planet.
