− | + | The Sankuru Nature Reserve is located in central Democratic Republic of Congo. The diversity of wildlife in Sankuru is remarkable; in addition to the bonobo, other species of conservation concern found at the site include the okapi (Okapia johnstoni), and at least 10 other species of primates, including the rare owl faced monkey and blue monkey. Sankuru also contains elephants, which have been hunted out in many other areas of the Congo forest ([https://www.bonobo.org/programs/sankuru-nature-reserve BCI]). | |

Central Africa > Democratic Republic of the Congo > Sankuru Nature Reserve
Summary
- Bonobos (Pan paniscus) are present in Sankuru Nature Reserve.
- The population size is unknown.
- The population trend is unknown.
- The site has a total size of 30,570 km².
- Key threats to bonobos are logging and wood harvesting.
- Conservation activities have focused on the implementation of a REDD+ project.
Site characteristics
The Sankuru Nature Reserve is located in central Democratic Republic of Congo. The diversity of wildlife in Sankuru is remarkable; in addition to the bonobo, other species of conservation concern found at the site include the okapi (Okapia johnstoni), and at least 10 other species of primates, including the rare owl faced monkey and blue monkey. Sankuru also contains elephants, which have been hunted out in many other areas of the Congo forest (BCI).
