Deforestation in Congo is detrimental as it disrupts crucial ecosystems, leading to loss of biodiversity and habitat destruction for countless species. Additionally, it exacerbates climate change by releasing carbon stored in trees and reducing the region’s capacity to absorb greenhouse gases. Moreover, deforestation threatens indigenous communities’ way of life, depriving them of essential resources and cultural heritage.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), charcoal is widely used as a primary source of fuel for cooking and heating purposes. The exact number of people using charcoal in the DRC can vary, but it is estimated that a significant portion of the population relies on charcoal as their primary cooking fuel. This reliance on charcoal can be attributed to several factors:

Charcoal is readily available and accessible in many parts of the DRC, particularly in urban and peri-urban areas. It is often sold in local markets and informal street vendors.
Charcoal is often more affordable than other cooking fuels such as electricity, gas, or kerosene. This makes it a preferred option for households with limited financial resources.
Charcoal is perceived as an efficient fuel for cooking, as it generates high heat levels and burns consistently compared to other traditional biomass fuels like wood.
Traditional cooking practices in the DRC, including the use of charcoal stoves and open fires, have been passed down through generations. Many households are accustomed to cooking with charcoal and find it convenient for preparing meals.
Limited access to modern energy sources and infrastructure, such as electricity and clean cooking technologies, contributes to the widespread use of charcoal. In many rural areas, where access to electricity and gas is scarce, charcoal remains the most viable option for cooking.
However, it’s important to note that the widespread use of charcoal has significant environmental implications, including deforestation and air pollution. Efforts to promote sustainable alternatives to charcoal, such as clean cookstoves and renewable energy sources, are crucial for mitigating these environmental impacts and improving the livelihoods of people in the DRC.
