DRC Oil Exploration Raises Environmental

  • Will Congo auction off oil & gas drilling blocks?
  • CNN’s Angela Dewan and Nimi Princewill contributed to this report. Despite growing pleas from climate change activists, the Democratic Republic of Congo says it is moving forward with its plans to auction off a vast majority of oil and gas drilling blocks located in the country’s rainforest and peatland.
  • Will oil and gas extraction be possible in the Congo Basin?
  • It remains to be seen whether any actual extraction will result; still, merely establishing infrastructure for oil and gas exploration will make it easier for loggers to continue deforesting the Congo Basin.
  • Will DRC auction oil & gas blocks?
  • The DRC govt will auction oil and gas blocks in the Cuvette-Centrale Peatlands in the Congo Basin forest. Peatlands are known as 'carbon sinks' because large stores of carbon are packed into them. Environmentalists say the project will worsen the climate crisis amongst other issues, the govt denies.
  • Are oil exploration blocks a threat to Congo's environment?
  • The Democratic Republic of Congo is putting 16 oil exploration blocks up for auction, including nine in the peatlands of the Cuvette Centrale. Environmentalists warn that oil exploration and infrastructure for production could release huge amounts of carbon stored in the peatland and threaten the rights of local communities.
