Description: This theme groups the geographical boundaries of the network of Protected Areas in the Republic of Congo, composed of national parks, biosphere reserves, wildlife reserves, forest reserves, community reserves, hunting areas, and gorillas and chimpanzee sanctuaries. These are the most recent information available on the boundaries of the various forest areas reserved for biodiversity conservation and wildlife management. The original cartographic data have been produced by WRI, the Ministry of the Forest Economy of Sustainable Development and Environment (MEFDDE), and the National Center of Inventory and Forest Management (CNIAF) A joint project funded by the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO). These were updated by the WRI-MEFDDE / CARPE Project to produce an Interactive Forest Atlas of the Congo: version 1.0. In accordance with the decree establishing and defining the Lossi Sanctuary, the WRI -MEFDDE / CARPE Project has had to modify the geographical boundaries of the Lossi Sanctuary and the boundary of the southern part of the Dimonika Biosphere Reserve , In order to update the protected areas file in the context of the production of version 2.0 of the Interactive Atlas of Congo. Law 37-2008 of 28 November 2008 on wildlife and protected areas sets out the fundamental principles and general conditions for the conservation and sustainable management of wildlife, habitats and ecosystems in the Republic of Congo.
