  • Republic of the Congo 2012 Human Rights Report
    REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO 2012 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Republic of the Congo is a parliamentary republic in which the constitution vests most of the decision-making authority and political power in the president and his administration. Denis Sassou-N’Guesso was reelected president in 2009 with 78 percent of the vote, but opposition candidates and domestic nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) questioned the validity of this figure. The 2009 election was peaceful, and the African Union declared the elections free and fair; however, opposition candidates and NGOs cited irregularities. Legislative elections were held in July and August 2011 for 137 of the National Assembly’s 139 seats; elections could not be held in two electoral districts in Brazzaville because of the March 4 munitions depot explosions in the capital’s Mpila neighborhood. The African Union declared the elections free, fair, and credible, while still citing numerous irregularities. Civil society election observers estimated the participation rate for the legislative elections at 10 to15 percent nationwide. While the country has a multiparty political system, members of the president’s Congolese Labor Party (PCT) and its allies won 95 percent of the legislative seats and occupied most senior government positions. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. The government generally maintained effective control over the security forces; however, there some members of the security forces acted independently of government authority, committed abuses, and engaged

  • Congo Basin Peatlands: Threats and Conservation Priorities

Lawson3 & Tim J. Rayden 4 & Lera Miles 5 & Edward T. A. Mitchard6 & Susan E. Page 7 & Yannick E. Bocko8 & Suspense A. Ifo9 & Simon L. Lewis1,2 Received: 11 August 2017 /Accepted: 3 December 2017 # The Author(s) 2018. This article is an open access publication Abstract The recent publication of the first spatially explicit map of peatlands in the Cuvette Centrale, central Congo Basin, reveals it to be the most extensive tropical peatland complex, at ca. 145,500 km2. With an estimated 30.6 Pg of carbon stored in these peatlands, there are now questions about whether these carbon stocks are under threat and, if so, what can be done to protect them. Here, we analyse the potential threats to Congo Basin peat carbon stocks and identify knowledge gaps in relation to these threats, and to how the peatland systems might respond. Climate change emerges as a particularly pressing concern, given its potential to destabilise carbon stocks across the whole area. Socio-economic developments are increasing across central Africa and, whilst much of the peatland area is protected on paper by some form of conservation designation, the potential exists for hydrocarbon exploration, logging, plantations and other forms of disturbance to significantly damage the peatland ecosystems. The low level of human intervention at present suggests that the opportunity still exists to protect the peatlands in a largely intact state, possibly drawing on climate change mitigation * Greta C.

Studying the variation height-diameter woody provides insight into the general characteristics of the trees diversity pattern. This study mainly focuses on aimed to assess the effectiveness of trees diversity and structure in two study sites. The study was conducted at Ipendja evergreen lowland moist forest in northern Republic of Congo. The sampling design was systematic consisted of parallel transect 1 or 2 km part, and divided into consecutive rectangular plots, each 5000m2 (25 x 200 m, i.e. 0.5 ha). Within eight plots censuses, all trees with a DBH ≥ 10 cm were identified and measured. A total of 1340 trees has been recorded belonged 145 species and 36 families (n = 607 and n = 733, respectively in Mokelimwaekili and Sombo sites).
