  3. The increasing population growth shown in this graph is thought to have an enormous impact on the natural vegetation. Source: to Lahmeyer, J., 2002. Congo (Kinshasa).

  4. This area was chosen because of its dense population in comparison with other parts of the country. The increase of a dense rural population should have a clear impact on the natural vegetation.
