Partnership for the goals

Mai Ndombe protects over 250,000 hectares of critical bonobo and forest elephant habitat within the world's second-largest intact rainforest, the Congo. It empowers communities in one of the world's most impoverished countries by creating a pathway to low-carbon economic development, agricultural and economic diversification, education, and healthcare. Without its presence, the area would likely be leased to foreign logging and mining companies.
