Minkebe-Ivindo Corridor Initiative: Enhancing the long-term viability of threatened large mammals across northeast Gabon, by maintaining population connectivity through wildlife corridors

Objectif général

To support conservation of felids and other large mamamls in the Minkebe-Ivindo Corridor and throughout Gabon by enhancing their long- term viability through the delineation of wildlife corridors. It intends to conserve two felid species, the leopard (Panthera pardus) and the African golden cat (Caracal aurata), and to benefit African forest elephants. This will be achieved by addressing the impacts of road development and settlements, where bushmeat hunters represent intense exploitative competition for prey and their snares are a vulnerability to many species.
