Ivindo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Gabon, recognized in 2021, is a rainforest reserve in the country’s northeast, celebrated for its pristine biodiversity and dramatic landscapes. Home to rare species like forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, and the endangered slender-snouted crocodile, it features the stunning Kongou and Djidji waterfalls within the Ivindo River basin. This intact equatorial ecosystem, minimally impacted by human activity, showcases Gabon’s ecological richness and serves as a critical refuge for Central Africa’s wildlife, highlighting its global conservation value.
