Republic of Congo’s Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park receives global conservation Gorilla Friendly^TM certification, which guarantees the application of best practices in all gorilla-related operations, from tourism to research, to safeguard the wellbeing of the primates and ensure active support for and from the park’s neighboring communities.
