This growth momentum will continue, driven by the implementation of concrete actions aimed at reducing its carbon emissions and strengthening its renewable energy production capacity.\nThe PHC Foundation is participating in the development of this green growth strategy, making it inclusive and enabling communities to benefit from the energy transition and improved management of environmental issues. The PHC Foundation will support local communities in obtaining property rights to their forests, in accordance with DRC Decree No. 14\/018 of August 2, 2014, which establishes the procedures for allocating forest concessions to local communities. It will also support them in generating and obtaining revenue from carbon credits to contribute to their sustainable social and economic development.\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4dc320cb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4dc320cb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b29ed0c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6b29ed0c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"479\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/fondation-phc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Environmental-Conservation.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-743\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fondation-phc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Environmental-Conservation.jpg 479w, https:\/\/fondation-phc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Environmental-Conservation-214x300.jpg 214w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le patrimoine naturel du monde rural de la RDC, notamment sa flore et sa faune, est d\u2019une valeur inestimable non seulement pour le pays, mais aussi pour la plan\u00e8te enti\u00e8re.
