Sangha Trinational
Sangha Trinational is a large and intact natural landscape, mainly consisting of humid forests plus wetlands and natural clearings.
These three contiguous national parks are centered along the Sangha river, a tributary to the Congo River. They harbour tree and mammal species that are much-threatened elsewhere due to exploitation and poaching. Large mammals such as Forest Elephants, Gorillas, Chimpanzees, Sitatunga and Bongo are still present in healthy numbers.
Community Perspective: this site has been unreviewed so far, although a tourist infrastructure exists in all three parks: Lobéké National Park in Cameroon, Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in Congo, and Dzanga-Ndoki National Park in the Central African Republic.
