The Democratic Republic of Congo is among the exporters of Aucoumea klaineana. The DRC Aucoumea klaineana is native to equatorial West Africa in Gabon, Rio Mali and the Republic of Congo. It grows to 30-40 meters tall with a trunk of 1-2.5 meter diameter.

DRC has a diverse tropical rain forest. In 2015 the country produced about 4.5 million meter cube, and 2.5 % exported. The value of exported timber in that year was 111.1 million US dollars. 

The main logging areas in DRC are; Orintale, Equateur, Bandundu Former provinces and along the Congo River. Most of the forest companies are in the hands of foreigners (WRI atlas DRC).

DRC is along the tropics in West Africa. The climatic conditions of the country area are hot and humid in the river basins. It is cool and dry in the southern highlands and very cold in the mountains. The rainy season lasts from October to June in the south and April to November in the north.

The main threat to forestry in DRC is deforestation by slash and burn, bushfires, cattle ranching, and charcoal production for local and regional markets.
