Comment on data source
The government has granted 79 mining and exploration permits in the Sangha region since 2020. These activities have caused deforestation and river pollution, raising doubts about the effectiveness of the country's carbon credit scheme. The situation reflects a contradiction between conservation policies and mining development, which could undermine the credibility of the REDD+ program in the region.
