"This property is an excellent example, at an exceptionally large-scale, of the process of post-glacial forest recolonization of savanna ecosystems. It is therefore ecologically significant as a convergence point of multiple ecosystem types (Congolese Forest, Lower Guinean Forest and Savanna). The broad range of age classifications across the forest succession spectrum contributes to the park’s highly distinct ecology, incorporating a broad range of remarkable ecological processes. It is one of the most important strongholds for forest elephants in Central Africa, and is recognized as the park with the richest primate diversity in the region."

Central African Republic - Republic of Congo - Cameroon - Sangha Trinational
"Situated in the north-western Congo Basin, where Cameroon, the Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic meet, the site encompasses three contiguous national parks totalling more than 750,000 hectares. Much of the site is unaffected by human activity and it features a wide range of humid tropical forest ecosystems with rich flora and fauna, including Nile Crocodiles and Goliath Tigerfish, a large predator. Forest clearings support herbaceous species and Sangha is home to considerable populations of forest elephants, critically endangered Western Lowland Gorilla, and endangered chimpanzee. The site’s environment has preserved the continuation of ecological and evolutionary processes on a huge scale and great biodiversity, including many endangered animal species.

Postcard 1 - CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC
Dzanga-Ndoki National Park has several intact populations of key forest fauna including the Western Lowland Gorilla, African Forest Elephant, chimpanzee, Giant forest hog, Red River Hog, sitatunga, endangered Bongo, African Forest Buffalo, and six species of duiker. This postcard from Central African Republic shows the African Forest Elephant, Giant forest hog and Bongo.Thanks so much to Chris who went to CAR and Cameroun. Postcard was mailed from Bangui, CAR on March 12, 2009 and arrived in Penang, Malaysia on April 2, 2009.
