VOICED: DR Congo 'biomass' logs fuel green alternative to coal

The video discusses Elizabeth's shift from dangerous charcoal production to creating biomass logs, a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative. Biomass logs, made from waste paper, water, and leaves, help preserve gorilla habitats by reducing deforestation.

The Congolese Institute for Nature Conservation aims to increase biomass production to boost the local economy and promote environmental sustainability.
