NATURE AT A BREAKING POINT
We are living in an era of planetary instability. Scientists have identified nine planetary boundaries that define Earth’s safe operating space; today, seven of these boundaries have already been crossed. From climate change to biodiversity collapse and freshwater disruption, the resilience of our biosphere is failing.
THE CONGO BASIN: THE WORLD FIRST LUNG... AND MORE
As the largest terrestrial carbon sink, a key regulator of global climate systems, and a biodiversity stronghold, protecting the Congo Basin transcends local responsibility, it is a global imperative which has led to the creation of largest conservation project in the world: The Green Corridor.
Our contribution: The Congo Basin Regeneration Initiative
Recognizing these priorities, we launched the Congo Basin Regeneration Initiative (CBRI), which takes a systemic approach to unify community development, biodiversity conservation, and climate impact within the Green Corridor.
THE CONGO RIVER PROJECT
As a key pillar of the CBRI, the Congo River Project seeks to support the ecological transition of the communities residing along the Congo River between Kisangani and Mbandaka in the Heart of the Congo Basin.
Climate regulation: This corridor contains vast tropical peatlands, where the Congo Basin stores its largest carbon reserves, making it one of the most critical leverage points for global climate stability.
Hydrological and Biodiversity Integrity: As a central artery of the basin, this ecosystem regulates freshwater flows and stabilizes water cycles while supporting exceptional biodiversity.
A National Lifeline: The Congo River connects eastern and western
DRC, forming a vital artery for people, goods, and ecosystems. Regenerating
this corridor unlocks its potential to feed major cities like Kinshasa, linking
landscape restoration with food security, trade, and long-term resilience.
