Abstract

The Congo Basin is a unique freshwater ecosystem on a grand scale, and it provides multiple services to hundreds of millions of people within the basin. It is also a crucial part of regulating the Earths’ water cycle, ultimately affecting all of those outside of the basin. Increasing international attention on its resource potential brings worrying pressures on this understudied region. As researchers, we are racing against time to understand this complex, interconnected system before we lose it, and equitable collaboration is the key to enabling its sustainable development.
