Équateur Rainforest
The Équateur rainforest is the beating green heart of the Congo Basin — an unbroken lowland canopy stretching over the Cuvette Centrale, storing enormous peatland carbon and sheltering the bonobo, forest elephant, and Congo peafowl.
- Part of the world's second-largest tropical rainforest
- Cuvette Centrale peatlands: ~30 Gt of stored carbon
- Only wild bonobo range on Earth
- Access via Mbandaka, Basankusu, and Lake Tumba
