Gangala na Bodio Hunting Domain

The Gangala na Bodio Hunting Domain is a significant protected landscape in Ituri Province, northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Located within a broad savanna–forest transition zone, this domain forms part of the ecological continuum between the northern savannas and the Congo Basin forests. Its open woodlands, seasonal rivers, and gallery forests support diverse wildlife and make the area particularly valuable for conservation and environmental research. Gangala na Bodio plays a strategic role in biodiversity conservation and landscape connectivity in northeastern DRC. As a regulated hunting domain, it contributes to habitat protection, species management, and sustainable land-use practices.
