Mwene Kay Domain

The Mwene Kay Domain is a reserved hunting and fishing domain located in the Greater Katanga region of southeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. This special designation reflects the area's ecological sensitivity and the importance of its river systems and aquatic biodiversity, alongside surrounding miombo woodlands and savanna landscapes. Access and activities within Mwene Kay are strictly regulated, prioritizing ecosystem protection, sustainable resource management, and long-term conservation outcomes. The domain plays a key role in freshwater ecosystem protection in southern DRC. Its rivers and wetlands support fish breeding grounds, wildlife hydration zones, and riparian biodiversity. The surrounding miombo ecosystems contribute to carbon storage, watershed stability, and climate resilience.
