The northern rainforests of the Republic of Congo are the habitat of the largest concentration of gorillas anywhere in the world. The region is also home to the IFO timber company and its employees, who rely on IFO for their income as well for the schools and medical center that IFO has established there. Environmentalists are concerned about tropical timber harvesting, but without IFO the human residents of the rainforest would be plunged into poverty....
