Our latest wildlife survey of northern #Congo shows that FSC-certified forestry concessions, like the @OlamAgri_ CIB concessions around Nouabalé-Ndoki NP, host MORE elephants & gorillas than non-managed forests @FSC_IC #Conservation #Biodiversity #Sustainability

The health of humans, animals, and ecosystems has never been so interconnected. Today, we mark #OneHealth Day to reflect on the global threat of #zoonoses. Tomorrow, our team will host a national workshop to strengthen collaboration and promote the One Health approach.

#Bushfire threaten Lac Télé wetlands. They destroy #birds habitats, disrupt food sources & endanger thousands of species. Since 1998, this @RamsarConv site has sheltered 91,000+ #waterbirds, including migratory species from Europe & Asia. Protect #Congo. Protect our planet.

The Grey Parrot is rapidly disappearing from northern #Congo . The latest WCS #wildlife inventory in the Ndoki-Likouala landscape recorded only a few sightings, a worrying sign for this endangered species.

In 2002, in Kabo, our conservationists proudly welcomed Jane Goodall during her visit to Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park. Her commitment will continue to inspire generations of biodiversity conservationists. #ThankYouJane #RememberingJane #JaneGoodall

Our latest inventory revealed several animal carcasses. Stark reminder of the dual threat posed by poaching and deadly diseases such as Ebola & anthrax. We collected samples to monitor wildlife health, thereby helping to prevent epidemics & protect both biodiversity and humans.

Road access to Northern #Congo is driving a #bushmeat crisis. #Wildlife surveys show steep losses in antelope, monkeys & apes. Only stronger local protection and national wildlife trade regulation can turn the tide. #BushmeatTrade #WildlifeTrafficking #CongoBrazzaville #ouesso

Each #gorilla birth in #NouabaléNdoki National Park is a #conservation victory. Between 2024 and 2025, at least one was recorded in every monitored group—proof of a healthy ecosystem and effective #protection efforts. #Congo #WildlifeProtection #fauna

A crowned eagle, one of the world's most powerful raptors, was observed feasting on a monkey in the Goualougo Triangle. This rare sighting underscores that deep forests like #NouabaléNdoki are critical sanctuaries for #biodiversity. #Congo #wildliferefuge #Conservation

Rare and unique, Allen’s swamp monkey (Allenopithecus nigroviridis) thrives in Congo’s Lac Télé Community Reserve. It was seen in 3 of 9 surveyed clearings—nowhere else in such numbers. 👉 https://t.co/gKILP2v0VX #Congo #monkeys #primates #wildilfe

Lack of regulation leads to overfishing. Fins & gills are sold on international markets. Solutions? Better traceability & quotas to protect species and fishers' livelihoods. #SharkFinning
