WCS-Congo > WCS Projects > Conkouati-Douli

Created in 1999, and managed by a collaboration of WCS and MFEE staff, Conkouati-Douli is the newest and the second largest of the three national parks in Republic of Congo, and is the most ecologically diverse protected area in Congo. The borders of the protected area extend from the depths of the Atlantic ocean, through beach and coastal habitat to the mountainous zones of the Mayombian forest and the Niari savannah.

The area is consequently home to an extraordinarily diverse range of fauna, with marine species such as manatees, turtles, dolphins and whales, and many terrestrial threatened species, such as forest elephants, gorillas, chimpanzees, mandrills and forest buffalo.
