Protecting the largest known population of forest elephants in the Democratic Republic of Congo: Phase IV

Objectif général

The purpose of this project is to support a conservation effort in Okapi Faunal Reserve in the Democratic Republic of the Congo by strengthening anti-poaching efforts and other protections to restore control of the reserve by the Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature (ICCN). This project is intended to conserve the reserve’s last remaining forest elephants by addressing the impacts of two major forest-based militias that have subjected the reserve to regular attacks since 2010.
