Empower local people to protect local wildlife, habitats, and traditional ways of living
Help ease pressure on eastern DRC's natural environment, help indigenous families thrive,

Build communities up
Strong Roots Congo exists to empower communities in and around Kahuzi-Biega National Park, Itombwe Nature Reserve, and on the corridor linking these areas.
With our partners, we help conserve the biodiversity of this place by combining scientific tools with traditional community knowledge. We create opportunities for livelihood and economic development in communities plundered by conflict.
On the Kahuzi-Biega - Itombwe Landscape, Strong Roots Congo works to build programs that balance the needs of human communities with those of forests and wildlife.
Understand, stop, and even reverse deforestation trends.
