<!-- INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPLOADING SITE INFORMATION
 
- Wiki pages contain information in paragraphs, tables, lists, and images.
 
- Text and images are not restricted, and their formats can be chosen as desired.
 
- Tables and lists are extracted as data, so the following restrictions apply to them:
 
  1) Table structure cannot be changed.
 
  2) List format should not change, i.e. they are comma separated lists, not bullet points or numbered lists.
 
  3) To make information comparable across wiki pages, keywords must be taken from the list of permitted words, or added to the list of permitted keywords. This is why we use official lists, e.g., IUCN classification lists, in our tables.

Unlike the Northern, Southern and Western blocks, most of the Eastern block (also known as the Tshuapa-Lomami-Lualaba or TL2 block) is not part of a Congo Basin Forest Partnership (CBFP) or Commission des Forêts d’Afrique Centrale (CFAC) landscape, because its biological importance was only revealed since 2007, through surveys (IUCN & ICCN 2012). The block stresches from from the Tshuapa River basin in the west to the Lualaba (Congo) River in the east. The western part of TL2 is contiguous with the Sankuru Natural Reserve. [[Lomami National Park]] is found within the TL2 block.

Through analysis of all available data from surveys conducted between 2003–2010, it has been estimated that there is a minimum population of 5,000 individuals in the Tshuapa-Lomami-Lualaba block, making it an important stronghold for bonobos (IUCN & ICCN 2012).

Although large parts of the area are uninhabited, bonobos and other wildlife are under intense pressure from the commercial bushmeat trade. In addition, the presence of slash-and-burn agriculture and artisanal logging are also threats in the TL2 block. No industrial logging or mining operations exist in the area, but parts of the forest are fragmented in and around the Sankuru reserve (IUCN & ICCN 2012).

Central Africa > Democratic Republic of the Congo > Eastern block (Tshuapa-Lomami-Lualaba, TL2)

Français | Português | Español | Bahasa Indonesia | Melayu

Summary

Loading map...
  • Bonobos (Pan paniscus) are present in Eastern block (Tshuapa-Lomami-Lualaba, TL2).
  • It has been estimated that a minimum of 5,000 individuals occur in the site.
  • The population trend is unknown.
  • The site has a total size of 20,000 km².
  • Key threats to bonobos are poaching, habitat destruction and degradation, risk of disease transmission.
  • Conservation activities are not documented.


Site characteristics

Unlike the Northern, Southern and Western blocks, most of the Eastern block (also known as the Tshuapa-Lomami-Lualaba or TL2 block) is not part of a Congo Basin Forest Partnership (CBFP) or Commission des Forêts d’Afrique Centrale (CFAC) landscape, because its biological importance was only revealed since 2007, through surveys (IUCN & ICCN 2012). The block stresches from from the Tshuapa River basin in the west to the Lualaba (Congo) River in the east. The western part of TL2 is contiguous with the Sankuru Natural Reserve. Lomami National Park is found within the TL2 block.

Ape status

Through analysis of all available data from surveys conducted between 2003–2010, it has been estimated that there is a minimum population of 5,000 individuals in the Tshuapa-Lomami-Lualaba block, making it an important stronghold for bonobos (IUCN & ICCN 2012).

Threats

Although large parts of the area are uninhabited, bonobos and other wildlife are under intense pressure from the commercial bushmeat trade. In addition, the presence of slash-and-burn agriculture and artisanal logging are also threats in the TL2 block. No industrial logging or mining operations exist in the area, but parts of the forest are fragmented in and around the Sankuru reserve (IUCN & ICCN 2012).
