Many species of large mammals are found only in the Congo basin. SignificanceThe Okapi a zebra might look like, but it is closely related to giraffe.The Congo is second largest river in the world by volume. The surrounding Amazon jungle it drains a is second in size only in the Brazilian rainforest. The environment is under pressure by plans large advanced oil palm farm to produce biofuels to delete and plans to build a massive hydroelectric dam which flooded large areas. World's tropical forests, where the majority of species on Earth, where biodiversity typical 10 to 100 times is that another environments.TypesThe Gorilla primate.Of more large worldwide thousands of species threatened by massive projects that are many large animals would be clearing of the region is endemic (live) only in this place in the Congo. These include: Congo of clawless Otter - extremely vulnerable .Manatee - sometimes loss of Habitat and human hunting is killed by sharks or crocodiles, your only real threat.

The Sangha include other national parks in the region, which contains Lobéké National Park in Cameroon, Nouabalé Ndoki in Congo-Brazzaville tri-national and Dzang Sangha in the Central African Republic.BenefitsPreserving that endangered species fight the diversity of the ecosystem of rain in the entire forest to get. Tropical forests provide sources for the species for agricultural cultivation, drug and convert much of carbon dioxide in the air oxygen.
