Conkouati-Douli National Park, National park and Tentative World Heritage Site in Kouilou Department, Congo

The park extends over 7,955 square kilometers, including 4,121 square kilometers of marine area and 3,833 square kilometers of terrestrial landscapes along the Congo-Gabon border.

Established in 1999 through Presidential Decree No. 99-136, the area previously existed as a smaller reserve of 144,294 hectares since 1989.

The area supports 7,800 residents across 31 villages, including the Vili people who settled in the region during the 13th century.

The park divides into three distinct zones: an integral protection area, an eco-development section for sustainable resource use, and a buffer zone for education.

The protected area contains both marine and land environments, providing habitat for 7,000 chimpanzees, 900 gorillas, and 100 humpback dolphins.
