Über den Ort

Sangha Trinational protects continuous tropical rainforest across international frontiers to maintain unfragmented wildlife corridors.

The transboundary reserve connects Dzanga-Ndoki National Park with Lobéké National Park and Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park into a single protected forest block. Intact canopies and minimal forest clearing allow vulnerable megafauna to roam across state borders without artificial barriers. Thriving populations include African forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, chimpanzees, and swamp-dwelling sitatunga antelopes.

Intergovernmental treaties coordinate ranger operations, ecological research, and anti-poaching patrols across the borderlines. The Tri-National de la Sangha Foundation channels dedicated conservation funding to field bases, while UNESCO World Heritage status safeguards both habitat integrity and rare timber species such as Mukulungu. Long-term staff must navigate shared jurisdiction and strict river transit rules.
