Our Home | The Ivindo #
Gabon harbors some of the most biodiverse and intact rainforests left on earth. We live and work in over 20 villages and >3000 km2 of ancestral lands in the Ogooué-Ivindo province, near the town of Makokou and the UNESCO World Heritage site Ivindo National Park. This globally important conservation landscape supports local people and is home to many endangered species including forest elephants, gorillas, chimpanzees, mandrills, and pangolins, whose equitable and sustainable protection requires locally-led management. The Ivindo landscape is among the most intact remaining in Central Africa, but increasingly threatened by unsustainable hunting and trade, coupled with burgeoning logging, mining, and human-elephant conflict.
