Establishment of Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve for Biodiversity Protection

In 1990, the Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve was established in the Central African Republic to safeguard its rich biodiversity. This Reserve covers an area of 4,238 square kilometers, featuring diverse ecosystems ranging from dense rainforests to open savannas. The main aim of establishing the Reserve was to protect the unique and endangered wildlife species inhabiting the region, including forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, and numerous bird species. The Reserve also serves as a crucial sanctuary for the indigenous BaAka people, who depend on the forest for their livelihoods. Since its establishment, the Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve has played a vital role in biodiversity conservation and scientific research. It has become a renowned destination for ecotourism and wildlife enthusiasts, attracting visitors from around the world. This initiative has not only helped in preserving the biological diversity of the region but has also contributed to the socio-economic development of local communities through tourism and sustainable resource management practices. #DzangaSangha #BiodiversityProtection #CentralAfricanRepublic #ConservationEfforts #Ecotourism #WildlifePreservation
