		Congo (Brazzaville) faces the enormous task of restoring the population’s hope in the future following the traumatic events that people have endured in recent years, as well as physically rebuilding the country.
		For example, the railway from Brazzaville to the port of Pointe Noire is of immense importance to the country’s economy and was a strategic target during the civil war, suffering damage which resulted in the line’s closure for a considerable period.
		Congo (Brazzaville)’s forestry taxes are considered to be low and substantial revenues have been lost because of irregularities; the government itself estimates that US$ 4 billion in timber industry levies have been foregone as a result.

		Congo benefited from the postwar expansion of colonial administrative and infrastructure spending as a result of its central geographic location within AEF and the federal capital at Brazzaville.

	Greenpeace report on CIB logging operation in Congo-Brazzaville \| Greenpeace International
		As a part of its global forest campaign, Greenpeace is increasing its activities in the Congo Basin, the 2nd largest rainforest area in the world.
		The logging (and related commercial poaching) of the remaining intact areas of these rainforests is a severe threat to the ecological integrity of the region.
		Without very drastic improvements in transparency and governance in general in the Congo Basin and in their forest sectors in particular, it is an illusion to hope that industrial logging will bring sustainable development.
