Quick Glance: Return of Colonial-Era Statue to Congo Sparks Environmental Revival
- Joyful singing and cheers filled a small village in western Democratic Republic of Congo as a procession emerged from an underground cave carrying an antique wooden figure of a Belgian colonial officer.
- The return of the 'Balot' sculpture, created during Belgium's brutal colonial rule in the 1930s, symbolizes resistance against colonization.
- The artist collective CATPC has advocated for the statue's return through years of activism, using proceeds from their art for reforestation projects in Lusanga.
- CATPC's efforts have already reforested 230 hectares around Lusanga, aiming to expand to 2,500 hectares to create a carbon sink, restore biodiversity, and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
