The region is politically unstable. And poachers take advantage of it. La cuenca del Congo es junto con la Amazonia el segundo gran pulmón del mundo. Milliones de kilómetros cuadrados de selva son vitales para el clima mundial, pero también albergan una inmensa diversidad biológica. La región es políticamente inestable. Y los cazadores furtivos se aprovechan de ello.
