African Elephant Conserv-Species Conservation Grant Protecting elephants of northern Congo
Connecting Conservation: Wildlife Corridors & Core Areas in the Sangha Tri-National Landscape and Northern Congo The purpose of this new five-year cooperative agreement is to maintain wildlife corridors and core areas in the transboundary Sangha Trinational and Northern Congo region of the Republic of Congo, Cameroon and Central Africa Republic by supporting the management of five park complexes and by working with forestry companies and local communities on the park periphery to better secure forest resources from illegal wildlife trafficking. This project will contribute to the conservation of USFWS trust resources and federally protected species, including the worlds largest population of western lowland gorillas and the largest, connected population of forest elephants. Objectives include stabilization of poaching pressures; reliable information on the distribution and status of wildlife; and coordination of conservation activities across six sites in three countries, including targeted joint activities to improve workforce capacity and safeguard local and legal use of wildlife. Each year's financial obligation is approved by USFWS on an annual basis based upon available funding, submission of annual workplans, and a review of the previous year's performance. The funding source is a 632(a) transfer from USAID; transfer responsibilities include implementation of the Central Africa Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE).
