Eating Away at the Land: The Lives of Local and Indigenous Communities in the Basoko Territory

In Basoko territory, in the heart of the Congo basin, local and indigenous communities are witnessing their land and rivers being poisoned by oil exploration and destructive logging. This story highlights how resource exploitation is threatening biodiversity, cultural heritage, and livelihoods, while amplifying the voices of those who resist. Through our podcast, Jambo Radio (a community and indigenous media) seeks to shed light on these silenced realities and spark global solidarity for climate justice, indigenous rights, and the protection of one of the world’s most vital ecosystems in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
