Deforestation In Africa
Deforestation in Congo
What Happened?
This is what land looks like after deforestation. This can cause land to flood easier, because the roots are not holding the soil in place.
Congo's Geography
Congo is located right smack in the middle of Africa. It is sometimes abbreviated DRC. That stands for its full name, the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Congo's Flag
Congo's flag was adopted in 2006. The red stripe symbolizes the blood shed for the countries freedom. The yellow represents the presence of richness and prosperity. The blue represents hope for the people. Lastly, the star represents that there is unity present in the country.
What Can We Do?
Donate or Volunteer Now!
Donate:
- Donating money would help send some of our volunteers, or even you, to Congo to help with relief efforts. This could also buy materials to help make sure that the trees are not cut down as excessively.
Volunteer:
- Most volunteers are stationed in the US managing our program. However, the more devoted volunteers have a choice to come on a annual trip to Congo with us. We will educate the children and the adults about the problems with deforestation. Also, we will teach them simple ways to help preserve the trees.
