Why is this spot in the Congo attracting so much attention? | Mongabay Explains

[@mattbranham9124]

The carbon is irrelevant. I hate to see beautiful tracts of nature destroyed purely for money. It's a big world with vast resources. That place should be aggressively protected

[@alexbaum2204]

That’s exactly what I’ve been saying for years! If we figure out how to balance the carbon footprint, but still lose the world’s remaining tropical forests, we are still completely screwed. The loss of biodiversity, the impact it will have on weather patterns and ocean currents, and the loss we will all suffer in our souls make these forests so much more important than simply being carbon sinks.

great production Mongabay! note: "Central Africa's peatlands are the largest and most intact in all the world's tropics" 4:34

I found this looking for a new discovery of the mokul bembi. Scientist say it's a living dinosaur supposed to have been extinct 100 million years ago. Has any heard of this?

[@BolinFoto]

It's a species of a black rhino. Now the J'ba Fofi the giant congolose spider, now that is nightmare fuel if anything :D

[@kristycherry3356]

I found this because of a video saying as much.

[@cameronspence4977]

No scientist says this because no dinosaurs exist anymore. Cryptozoology is pseudoscience aka NOT REAL

[@waseemsmith3853]

Deserves more views of topics like these

[@jaywalker4097]

Now they're gonna rape that swamp for the peat

[@joeoak7090]

I was hoping to see giant spider....

[@PiousMoltar]

I never ever ever hope to see a giant spider

[@Hawk_90sGamer]

Me too

[@JayByrdJ]

one more example of subtle energy giving a gift .. Now we are starting to know that the Forest is one of the smartest life forms on the planet ...

[@aponkyepapa]

What is discovery about this. When there are people already living in such places. Some of these forest are sacred to us as African both for scientific and spiritual reasons. The interference for monetary gains is affecting the natural state of our lives. Come to Africa, understand our culture, respect our culture, respect the limits to our natural resources😔😔.

Tpsf are so intriguing

[@s_africanchannel4810]

The peat belongs to the people of congo

[@dougpeterson5257]

Did they also check for methane in these areas?

[@LocknLoad1142]

They like to say discover 😆

[@EmpressOfExile206]

That sounds about white... 😂

[@jerrymerryweather8034]

No Brontosaurus then ?

[@cameronspence4977]

No. They're gone.

[@MasterBlaster220]

Not even 30 sec. can pass in any documentation today without mentioning the carbon religion.

[@davidwarren9761]

Why is so much of Africa undeveloped and backwards? It is no more isolated than Australia.

[@EmpressOfExile206]

Because the c0rrupt governments sold out their nation's natural resources to 🇺🇸 & 🇨🇳 to be stripped and exploited for profits 💯

[@haileeraestout5567]

Thats The Forest Where The J'ba Fofi Lives

[@Tosagey]
