Ngiri Reserve, Protected area in Équateur, Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Ngiri Reserve extends across 1,000 square kilometers of swamp forest, rivers, and marshy grasslands near the Congo and Ubangi Rivers confluence.
The World Wide Fund for Nature revitalized protection efforts for the Ngiri Triangle in 2010, leading to its official establishment as a reserve in March 2011.
The sparse population around Bomongo, the single town within the reserve boundaries, maintains traditional fishing and hunting practices in the wetlands.
Access to the reserve requires travel through Mbandaka city, with water level peaks occurring between September and November in the Ubangi and Ngiri rivers.
The reserve contains multiple tree species including Entandrophragma palustre and serves as a nesting ground for purple herons and reed cormorants.
