Democratic Republic of Congo is home to the world’s largest tropical peatlands.
They store huge amounts of carbon, regulate the planet's climate and host many species of plants and animals.
But they face a new threat - oil and gas exploration, that will soon begin.
Environmental activists say this will have a devastating impact on this critically important ecosystem.

Al Jazeera’s Nick Clark reports from the Lomako Reserve, in DRC.
