38 The DRC's population Until the separation of South Sudan, the DRC was the continent's third
largest country, though, as Thomas Turner points out, both Sudan and Algeria “include large
swathes of uninhabited desert” ( The Congo Wars , 24). This point is important because of the fer-
tility and wealth of resources of the Congo's land. (The comparison of national populations is also
drawn from Turner.)
See also Carmen Lacambra et al., “Bonobo ( Pan paniscus) ,” in Caldecott and Miles, World
Atlas of Great Apes and Their Conservation , 92: “DRC's human population is increasing almost 3
percent per year, the highest annual growth rate in Africa. In 1999, there were 60 million people;
at current growth rates, this number is expected to double within 25 years. Conditions of life in
DRC are very difficult and much of the population still relies on forest products for food, shelter,
and fuel. Pressure on all forest resources is increasing rapidly.”
See also Peterson and Ammann, Eating Apes , 123: “Central Africa human populations are
growing by 2 to 3 percent a year, which means that by the year 2025 there could be twice the num-
ber of bushmeat consumers living in Central Africa.”
See also Alden Almquist, “The Society and Its Environment,” in Meditz and Merrill, Zaire: A
Country Study , 70: “Zaire's population was estimated at 39.1 million in 1992, making the country
among sub-Saharan Africa's most populous. This figure represents a substantial increase over the
29.7 million inhabitants recorded in the last official census, taken in July 1984, which in itself had
indicated a near doubling of the 16.2 million population at independence in 1960.”

country that lies north of the equator, the dry season (roughly early November to late March) cor-
responds to the rainy season in the southern two-thirds. There is a great deal of variation, however,
and a number of places on either side of the equator have two wet and two dry seasons. Rainfall
averages range from about 1,000 millimeters to 2,200 millimeters.”
