My Expedition to Congo Basin

Hey Everyone. At the Beginning of this year, I went to a research expedition to the Dja Fauna Reserve, Cameron in the Congo Basin System with UCLA. I will try to update the post if anyone want to know more about doing wildlife research in Africa.

Congo Basin

The Congo Basin in central Africa is the second largest tropical rainforest and biodiversity hotspot in the world following the Amazon in South America. "Congo" is a traditional name for the equatorial Middle Africa that lies between the Gulf of Guinea and the African Great LakesThe basin ends where the river empties its load in the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean. Currently, Congo Basin covered 10 African countries:

Angola
Burundi
Cameroon
Central African Republic
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Republic of the Congo
Rwanda
South Sudan
Tanzania
Zambia

The climate is equatorial tropical, with two rainy seasons including very high rainfalls, and high temperature year round. The basin is home to some of the well known African animals such as gorillas such as cross river gorilla and western lowland gorilla, chimpanzees, three species of pangolins, forest elephants, and bonobos. According to the local legend and cryptozoology, Congo Basin is also the home of the last remaining non-avian dinosaurs alive today: Mokele-mbembe. The Congo Basin is also the home of the pygmy tribe, the Baka people who are remained to be hurter-and-gatherers.

This is one of the largest rocher, Bouamir, near our research station, and you can see the landscape of the whole jungle in this rocher.
BBC film the fifth "Wild Africa" episode, "Jungle" in the exactly same spot as in this picture.

回復 #6 寒武紀的帖子

That is some monkey and camera trap pictures. I will try to upload more camera trap picture when I found other good one. Unfortunately, I couldn't take any gorilla pictures. We just heard the gorilla scream but did not see any gorilla even we camped near the gorilla nest.
