About Sangha Trinational UNESCO World Heritage Site

Sangha Trinational UNESCO World Heritage Site
 

The Sangha Trinational is an exceptional conservation area stretching across the borders of the Central African Republic, Cameroon, and the Republic of the Congo. This UNESCO World Heritage Site encompasses around 2,800,000 hectares of pristine rainforest. It is significant for its unspoiled ecosystem which is home to diverse species, including forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, and chimpanzees. The area is pivotal for its biological diversity and the extensive populations of key wildlife species, considered some of the most significant populations in Africa. Established as a collaboration between these three countries, the area conserves one of the largest remaining forest ecosystems on the planet. Visitors can enjoy guided eco-tours, opportunities for primate observation, and cultural encounters with indigenous communities living sustainably within the forest. Its remote nature adds to its charm, providing a sense of true wilderness that attracts adventurous travelers and conservationists.
