DR Congo

Discover essential information about DR Congo

The Democratic Republic of Congo is the continent's second-largest country and home to the Congo Rainforest—the world's second-largest tropical forest and a critical carbon sink for the entire planet. The mighty Congo River, second only to the Amazon in water flow, runs through its heart. With extraordinary mineral wealth and biodiversity—including okapis, bonobos, and forest elephants—DRC is one of Africa's most remarkable nations.
