Sangha Trinational
Located in the northwest of the Congo Basin, at the border of Cameroon, the Central African Republic and Congo, the site includes three connected national parks with a total area of approximately 750,000 hectares. Largely untouched by human activity, the site features a wide variety of moist tropical forest ecosystems with a rich variety of flora and fauna, including Nile crocodiles and large predators such as giant tiger fish. Forest clearings provide habitat for herbaceous plants, and Sanga is home to a large population of forest elephants, critically endangered western lowland gorillas and endangered chimpanzees. The site's environment preserves the continuation of large-scale ecological and evolutionary processes, as well as a rich biodiversity, including many endangered animal species.
