On 7 January 2021 BBC reported: The Congo Basin contains the world's second-largest rainforest, crucial for regulating the world's climate. Inside it, a plan to halt the forest's decline is bearing fruit. Under a revolutionary scheme in DR Congo -- which is home to the majority of the Congo Basin, the world's second-largest rainforest -- the 300 villagers of Nkala were granted 4,100 hectares (16 square miles) of forest in December 2018.
