Salonga National Park, Forest national park in Congo Basin, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Salonga National Park extends across 36,000 square kilometers of tropical rainforest, containing networks of rivers, marshlands, and grassy clearings.
The area was initially designated as Tshuapa National Park in 1956, before President Mobutu Sese Seko revised its boundaries and renamed it in 1970.
The Iyaelima people inhabit the southern regions near the Lokoro and Lula rivers, contributing to wildlife conservation through collaboration with park guards.
Access to the park requires boat transportation via the Congo River system, with administrative headquarters located at Monkoto in Équateur province.
The protected area houses 40 percent of the global bonobo population and serves as habitat for the Congo peafowl, the national bird of Congo.
