Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve, Protected rainforest reserve in southwestern Central African Republic.
The reserve spans 6,865 square kilometers of dense tropical forest, intersected by the Sangha River and multiple natural forest clearings.
Established in 1990, the area shifted to collaborative management in 1999 between the Central African Ministry of Environment and international conservation organizations.
The Baka people maintain traditional lifestyles within the reserve, practicing subsistence farming of cassava, corn, and bananas in villages like Bayanga.
Two forest camps provide access points for researchers and visitors to observe gorilla groups and study forest elephant behavior patterns.
Digital recording stations throughout the reserve capture and analyze forest elephant communication patterns through the Elephant Listening Project.
