Overall, the DRC’s extensive forest resources are in good condition, but they are being lost and degraded at an increasing rate, particularly in critical areas such as gallery forests in the west and hilly landscapes in the east.
UNEP has identified the key drivers of forest degradation and deforestation. They include slash and burn agriculture with reduced fallow periods, fuelwood and charcoal collection, unregulated artisanal and small-scale logging -which is estimated to represent 75 percent of total timber exports from the DR, and finally, road infrastructure opening previously pristine areas up to human activities.

Déforestation, RDC
Globalement, les vastes ressources forestières de la RDC sont en bon état, mais elles s’amenuisent et se dégradent de plus en plus vite, en particulier dans les zones critiques telles que les forêts-galeries dans l’ouest et dans les collines à l’est.
Le PNUE a identifié les principaux facteurs de la dégradation des forêts et de la déforestation. Ils incluent notamment l’agriculture itinérante sur brûlis avec des périodes réduites de jachère, la collecte de bois de chauffage et de charbon de bois, la coupe de bois artisanale illégale et à petite échelle, qui représente environ 75% des exportations totales de bois de la RDC, et enfin les infrastructures routières qui ont ouvert des zones auparavant dépourvues d’activités humaines.
