Congo Basin Peatlands (2022-2027)

IKI, UNEP, FAO, DR Congo and Republic of Congo

The Lac Télé/Lac Tumba landscape is a unique ecosystem shared between both Kongos. The landscape stores enormous amounts of carbon and harbors important populations of endemic species. The project, Securing crucial biodiversity, carbon and water stores in the Congo Basin Peatlands by enabling evidence based decision making and good governance, supports the governments and stakeholders to mitigate climate and development impacts on biodiversity, water and carbon.
