Researchers have launched the Congo Basin Science Initiative (CBSI) targeted at the Central African ecosystems.

On October 28, at the Three Basins Summit in Brazzaville, Congo, a call was made for $100 million to be invested in a 10-year programme focused on the Basin, with a further $100 million to give PhD training to scientists from the Congo region, to lead and co-ordinate complex studies there.
