 | | The Democratic Republic of the Congo — also referred to as DRC, DRC Congo, DR Congo, Congo and Congo-Kinshasa — (formerly Zaire) is a nation in central Africa and the third largest country on the continent. |
 | | According to the Human Rights Watch, the east is a human rights disaster area with, "soldiers of the national army and combatants of armed groups continu(ing) to target civilians, killing, raping, and otherwise injuring them, carrying out arbitrary arrests and torture, and destroying or pillaging their property. |
 | | The hunting has also been facilitated by the extensive logging prevelant throughout the Congo's rainforests (from corporate logging, in addition to farmers clearing out forest in order to create areas for agriculture), which allows hunters much easier access to previously unreachable jungle terrain, while simultaneously eroding away at the habitats of animals [7]. |
