Congo is one of the countries, that is already receiving foreign aid, so claiming, that it is not receiving any is simply a lie.
>>> They (we) would have to pay to Congolese people a competitive price for each tree saved from cutting.
The biggest issue of all of the foreign aid is corruption.
The output of aid in most cases makes few mega rich billionaires from Africa and total poverty for rest.
There is hypocricity in the whole "save the forests" idea, because the only way to save forests is by dramatically reducing population - I don't see reappearance of forests(where squirrel can run wild and free without the need to touch the soil) in United Kingdom, where money should not be the issue.
DRC has population >100 million - that fact alone is making unsustainable maintenance of forests, for a population, that has basic needs, that include roof above their home, clothing and food.
