Congo Basin countries thus still fit the profile of high forest cover/ low deforestation (HFLD) countries. However, there are signs that Congo Basin forests are under increasing pressure from a variety of sources, including mineral extraction, road development, agribusiness, and biofuels, in addition to subsistence agricultural expansion and charcoal collection.Congo Basin countries are now at a crossroad - they are not yet locked into a deve 410 0$aDirections in Development 606 $aDeforestation$xEconomic aspects$zAfrica, Central 606 $aForest protection$zAfrica, Central 606 $aForest degradation$zAfrica, Central 606 $aEconomic development$zAfrica, Central 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDeforestation$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aForest protection 615 0$aForest degradation 615 0$aEconomic development 676 $a333.750967 700 $aMegevand$b Carole$01039857 701 $aMosnier$b Aline$01039858 712 02$aWorld Bank. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463217003321 996 $aDeforestation trends in the Congo Basin$92462302 997 $aUNINA
