Target: Mr. Jules Doret Ndongo, Minister of Forestry and Wildlife, Cameroon; and Mr. Henri Djombo, Minister of Forest Economy, Sustainable Development, and Environment, Republic of Congo.
Goal: Establish a wildlife corridor between the Dja Faunal Reserve and the Odzala-Kokoua National Park to protect and conserve biodiversity in the Congo Basin.
The Congo Basin is home to some of the world’s most important and biodiverse rainforests, providing critical habitats for numerous wildlife species. However, increasing human activity, such as deforestation, mining, and agricultural expansion, has resulted in the fragmentation and isolation of these forests, leading to a loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. This has particularly impacted the Dja Faunal Reserve in Cameroon and the Odzala-Kokoua National Park in the Republic of Congo, two critical conservation areas in the Congo Basin.
To address this issue, we must establish a wildlife corridor between the Dja Faunal Reserve and the Odzala-Kokoua National Park. A wildlife corridor is a narrow strip of land that connects two or more conservation areas, allowing wildlife to move freely between them. By providing a safe and continuous habitat for wildlife, a wildlife corridor can help to maintain genetic diversity, prevent the extinction of species, and maintain the ecological balance of the region.
The creation of a wildlife corridor between the Dja Faunal Reserve and the Odzala-Kokoua National Park is crucial for the protection and conservation of biodiversity in the Congo Basin. This corridor would connect two vital conservation areas, providing a safe passage for wildlife and enabling genetic exchange between populations. This, in turn, would help to maintain the ecological balance of the region and preserve the natural heritage of Cameroon and the Republic of Congo for future generations.
In light of the urgent need to protect and conserve the biodiversity of the Congo Basin, we call on the Ministers of Forestry and Wildlife of Cameroon and the Minister of Forest Economy, Sustainable Development, and Environment of the Republic of Congo to take immediate action to establish a wildlife corridor between the Dja Faunal Reserve and the Odzala-Kokoua National Park. Through proactive measures such as these, we can ensure a brighter and more sustainable future for generations to come.
Establishing a wildlife corridor between the Dja Faunal Reserve and the Odzala-Kokoua National Park is crucial for the protection and conservation of biodiversity in the Congo Basin. Demand action immediately.
