"When we look at the Congo Basin we see a very different situation. That's an area that is at the moment almost all intact forest and has had relatively low rates of deforestation. And the reasons why those rates have been low are varied from country to country. But in the largest area, the Democratic Republic, it's been political instability and poor infrastructure linked to that instability that has meant that this large forest reserve has not currently really faced very heavy pressure, at least compared to forests of Asia or the Amazon."
“当我们看到刚果盆地时，我们看到了一个不同的情况。这是一个在现今时刻来说几乎已经是完全保存完好且森林砍伐率相对较小的土地，而砍伐率小的原因则每个国家各不相同。但对于最大的区域即刚果民主共和国来说，主要是由于政治上的不稳定，而与之相连的就是基础设施较差，这也就意味着这大规模的森林保护现今还未真正面临很严重的压力，至少与亚洲或亚马逊的森林相比是这样的。”
