Wildlife Conservation Global

Wildlife Conservation Global Inc. operates the Okapi Conservation Project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, collaborating with the Institute in Congo for the Conservation of Nature and local communities to protect the Okapi Wildlife Reserve. This 13,700-square-kilometer area is vital for the conservation of numerous species, including forest elephants, okapis, and chimpanzees, all while supporting the indigenous Mbuti pygmies who have inhabited the Ituri Forest for over 40,000 years.

The Okapi Conservation Project emphasizes the importance of global awareness and education regarding the unique okapi and its ecosystem, partnering with zoos worldwide to highlight the biodiversity of DR Congo's rainforests. Through their efforts, they aim to ensure the survival of this iconic species and promote the thriving human cultures within the Reserve.
