Nom du projet/programme

Gabon protected areas corridor identification and gazettement

Objectif général

To support conservation of felids and other large mammals in Gabon by enhancing their long-term viability through the delineation of wildlife corridors, with a focus on the protected areas of Ivindo, Lopé, Waka, Loango, Moukalaba-Doudou, Pongara, and Wonga-Wongue. It intends to conserve two felid species, the leopard (Panthera pardus) and the African golden cat (Caracal aurata), in addition to elephants, chimpanzees, and lowland gorillas. This will be achieved by addressing the impacts of road development and settlements, incompatible extractive industry practices, and commercial bushmeat hunting.
