Noting the % of forest cover, I guess they are rural gorillas, not urban guerrillas.

I'm going hard for the Country Trivia badge right now... it's pretty sad to realise just how many countries of the world have "oil" as their top export! Hope that changes.

Someone I would have known but who didn't show up here: Albert Schweitzer, who was already an esteemed organist and theologian when he took up studies in medicine in his 30s and became a doctor in order to found a hospital in Lambaréné, Gabon. He was awarded the Peace Nobel Prize for his charitable work in 1952.

We still have a statue of him in Deventer, NL. Apparently a foundation was started here to finance his work in Gabon. He would come to play organ concerts and raise money for his charity. History is great!
