Ntokou-Pikounda National Park, National park in Congo Basin, Republic of the Congo.

The 4,572-square-kilometer park contains dense forests and swamps within the TRIDOM landscape, connecting protected areas across three African nations.

The Congolese Ministerial Council and President Denis Sassou Nguesso established the park in December 2012 to protect 15,000 lowland gorillas.

Local Balouma and Bonguili Indigenous communities maintain traditional fishing practices in rivers that flow through the protected territory.

Access to the park remains limited to river routes, with minimal infrastructure and services available for visitors in surrounding villages.

Scientists rediscovered Bouvier's red colobus monkeys in 2015 within the park boundaries after the species had not been seen since the 1970s.
