Expand Protection for Gorillas and Elephants
Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in the northern Republic of the Congo is one of the last remaining wild places on the planet. It’s 1-million acres of lowland tropical rainforest contain no human settlements or roads and forests that have never been logged.
Abbuting the Park is a pristine 26,049-acre forest known as the Djeke Triangle. This region is home to large undisturbed populations of charismatic threatened mammal species such as Western Gorillas (CR), Chimpanzees (EN) and African Elephants (VU). But this pristine forest is at grave threat from logging and poaching – we must act now.

Stop Poaching and Save Species
Rainforest Trust is teaming up with our local partner, Wildlife Conservation Society, to expand the existing 1,000,000-acre Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park by the additional 26,049 acres in the Djeke Triangle.
This expansion will safeguard threatened species like Giant Ground Pangolins (EN), African Golden Cats, as well as 19 primate species, including Oustalet’s Red Colobus. Surveys have revealed that some of our world’s most iconic mammals thrive here in large populations–– approximately 2,170 gorillas, 3,020 chimpanzees and 3,170 elephants live within Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park.
Save Intact Rainforest
With responsible development of tourism, this small expansion could be a source of financial stability and sustainability for the entire Park.
The unique forests of the Djeke Triangle and Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park are some of the most lush and intact in the country. In fact, while there is little or no local endemism in this region of Central Africa, the Triangle is extremely unusual in that it holds all of the original species of the region in ecologically pristine proportions. Your support will allow these forests to continue safely functioning as a full ecologically intact system–– from the largest to the smallest ‘ecological engineers’, from forest elephants to termites.
Partnering to Save Rainforest
Our partners’ ability to work with their governments and build strong connections with local communities ensures the successful implementation of our projects.
