DRC: Corruption in Congo: Seeing the wood for the trees

Two sacks of salt, 18 bars of soap, four packets of coffee, 24 bottles of beer and two bags of sugar. That's the compensation a Congolese community can expect for giving a logging company access to huge areas of local rainforest. If they're really lucky, they might get a school or a pharmacy thrown in. According to a report from environmental campaigning group Greenpeace, Carving up the Congo, corporations are offering gifts worth as little as $100 to local people in exchange for permission to cut down wood worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
