  • World's Most Dangerous Roads: Deadliest Journeys in Gabon 2014
    Deadliest Roads - Haiti: • Deadliest Roads | Hait...
    The forests of Gabon are some of the densest and most mysterious in the world. Living there is almost impossible due to all the wild animals, snakes and insects hiding behind every leaf. But there are a few adventurous souls who risk it all in this green hell every day. They are the drivers of enormous logging trucks that can carry up to 40 tons of wood at a time.
    It is on these giant logs that the entire country’s fortunes depend. The drivers race across the country in these huge machines to take the exotic wood from the Forest of Bees logging sites to Gentil port; it is a 350km feat of endurance and skill that is not for the faint hearted.

    We are in Gabon 🇬🇦 today
    Spoiler on the state of Gabon’s roads: Only 20% are surfaced with asphalt. Gabon’s roads are the least developed on the continent and the two main cities capital Libreville and Port-Gentil are not connected by road but by river. Ergo: bad driving conditions.
    The protagonists in our documentary work in the wood industry and must navigate these dangerous roads and rivers. One route takes them and us along for the ride, from Lastourville to the capital Libreville in two days. The distance: 645 km.
    Some of the timber destined for export is sent downriver. The passage: from Lambarene to Port-Gentil. 300 km along the Ooogue river. The load we follow: worth € 350000. Damage or Loss to the load: the transport company must pay.
    What a gorgeous country. Wow. But it’s brutal. Earning a living as a truck driver, a river logger? Adventurous gives it a positive spin. Brutal, dangerous more accurate.
    A few facts:
    ~Official language is French. Independent since 1960.
    ~Rich in natural resources (as is all of Africa): mainly oil and wood. 89.3% of its land area forested.
    ~After the Amazon, Gabon has the second largest forested area in the world.
    Let the journeys via road and river begin. Another Spoiler alert: A lot of weird food along the way. Did I see a porcupine being grilled? Yikes. Open truck hoods, drivers doubling up as mechanics trying to fix engines, waiting for spare parts and chanting away of bad spirits.
    The journey. Precarious. Dangerous. Deadly at times. Always a relief when they arrive safely. Jerome calls home to let them know.
    NB Recently, some news regarding deforestation: The wood industry in Gabon has promised to replant every tree 🌳 it cuts down (3 million yearly). Let’s keep an eye on that and support any initiatives.

Education would help, as long as the children who are educated can use their skills to help themselves and their families to improve their standard of living. There is also the problem of the buyers, naturally enough, wanting to buy materials as cheaply as possible, even if that means the producers can't get a decent price for their goods and hard work.

    One thing that most people are not aware of is that these forests take care of their own hydrological cycle, they essentially water themselves through transpiration, cloud formation and then rainfall so the more trees they cut there will be less water in the long run, ain't like rain clouds are formed over the oceans for these lands.

Trucks are totally different and 770,000 km is still a very usable truck, even in Europe. That one is second-hand from Europe anyway.
