Background:
The Congo Basin is the second-largest tropical forest in the world and is home to an impressive wealth of
fauna and flora, ranging from isolated species (elephant, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, chimpanzee, and gorilla)
to endemic habitats (hot spots). The Congo Basin is one of the priority regions for biodiversity conservation
due to its exceptional heritage and high level of endemism (Colyn Deleporte, 2004; Brooks et al., 2011;
Dagalier et al., 2019). These ecosystems have the commons value today and across generations. However, the
growing interest in protecting its ecosystems is challenged by the context of countries' under-development,
weak governance, and funding shortage.
