Sangha Trinational, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Cameroon, Central African Republic, and Congo, recognized in 2012, is a pristine rainforest spanning three countries in the Congo Basin, celebrated for its rich biodiversity. Home to gorillas, elephants, and rare forest species, its untouched woodlands, clearings, and rivers reflect a vital ecological hotspot. This transnational site showcases Central Africa’s natural heritage, preserved through cooperative conservation across borders in a remote wilderness.
