This is the Kambekulu river, one of the potential watersheds for a new project. If you study this picture for a while, a few things become apparent:
-people are farming on the very steep hillsides in the background
-there are very steep hillsides in the background

This area has quite intense geography and there are no roads back into those hills where we are thinking about working. This has both a plus and a minus, the plus being that inaccessibility has probably slowed the rate of deforestation (although deforestation is still taking place) and the minus being how difficult it will be for a project to effectively reach people.
