Ecosystem of the Congo Basin Rainforest
The Congo Basin rainforest, spanning six Central African countries, is the second-largest tropical forest in the world. Although it teems with life, scientists have only begun to uncover the vast array of species and ecological relationships that exist within it, leaving much of the ecosystem still poorly understood. Over the course of two years, photographer Christian Ziegler documented diversity, from ants to towering trees, aiming to shed light on the rainforest’s hidden wonders and emphasize its critical importance for global climate and conservation.
