Objectif général
To support a conservation effort in Conkouati Douli National Park, Republic of Congo, by improving park management, protection and capacity. The project is intended to primarily conserve the park’s populations of forest elephants, chimpanzees, gorillas, coastal dolphins, leatherback and olive ridley sea turtles and large monkeys, as well as other threatened and iconic forest and aquatic species such as pangolins and manatees. This agreement will address hunting for the commercial bushmeat trade, poaching for ivory, illegal fishing, and other key threats to wildlife via five main objectives: control of illegal killing and park encroachment on land, control of illegal killing and bycatch in park waters, development of a better evidence base to adaptively manage park activities, improvement of community support of the park, and enhancement of management capacity to implement and oversee important park programs.
