Dreaming of Congo rainforest: Gabon, Republic of the Congo and the Central African Republic

10,000 Birds

Logging roads have opened up vast areas to commercial hunting, leading to industrial-scale poaching and a more than 60 per cent drop in the region’s Forest Elephant population in less than a decade. The region also provides food, fresh water and shelter to more than 75 million people of nearly 150 distinct ethnic groups.

10,000 Birds

APRIL 15, 2015

I was in contact with a group of birders for whom I arranged and guided an annual tour to Africa. Here local hunters had known about the colony and for generations had been harvesting the birds by simply picking the adults off their nests during the breeding season. We also knew we had discovered Africa’s next hot birding destination.
