Roads, development, and conservation in the Congo Basin

Article Abstract:

The Democratic Republic of Congo's intention to rebuild its road system is suggested as an opportunity for government, conservationists and donors to create a sustainable infrastructure. Research indicates that road density is directly linked to the loss of wildlife diversity, both from the disappearance of habitat lands and from the greater access to wildlife by hunters using the roads.
