There are no roads and most of the park is accessible only by river[citation needed]. | WIKI |
The southern region inhabited by the Iyaelima people is accessible via the Lokoro River, which flows through the center and northern parts of the park, and the Lula River in the south[citation needed]. | WIKI |
The park is co-managed by the Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature and the World Wide Fund for Nature since 2015. | WIKI |
Extensive consultation is ongoing,[3] with the two main populations living within the park; the Iyaelima, the last remaining residents of the park [2] and the Kitawalistes, a religious sect who installed them-self in the park just after its creation. | WIKI |
An intense collaboration exists between the park guards and the Iyaelima, as Iyaelima villages are used as guard posts. | WIKI |
It is known that bonobo densities are highest around Iyaelima villages which shows that they cause no threat to the park's emblematic species. | WIKI |
Animals in the park include bonobos, Dryas monkeys, Thollon's red colobus, Congo peafowl, leopards, forest elephants, and African slender-snouted crocodiles[citation needed]. | WIKI |

At the heart of the central basin of the River Congo, Salonga National Park is the largest protected area of dense rainforest on the African continent (when considering the two disjointed sectors of the Park). | UNESCO |
Very isolated and only accessible by water transport, this vast Park (3,600,000 ha) contains the important evolution of both species and communities in a forest area still relatively intact. | UNESCO |
The large size of the Park ensures the continued possibility for evolution of both species and biotic communities within the relatively undisturbed forest. | UNESCO |
The Park is one of the most extensive in the world and its area is sufficiently important to offer viable habitats to its fauna and flora. | UNESCO |
The fact that the Park is divided into two distinct sectors suggests that biological corridors must be foreseen in the unlisted portion between the two sectors, to create an ecological liaison between these two zones. | UNESCO |
Roughly one third of the southern sector of the Park is occupied by groups of pygmies and a part of this occupied land is claimed by the local population. | UNESCO |
The boundaries of the property are intact due to the existence of major rivers that form recognized, precise and natural boundaries and this despite the presence of some villages inside the Park. | UNESCO |
The Park requires a management plan, even although a Coordination Committee for the site (COCOSI) exists and at least once a year reunites the partners supporting the site, the site chief and his collaborators. | UNESCO |
The future of the Park cannot be assured without a strengthening of both the management structure and available financial means. | UNESCO |
Among the management problems requiring long-term attention are poaching using traditional methods, and more recently by the military with modern war weapons; pressure and human occupation by the Yaelima in the southern part and by the Kitawalistes in the northern area (with accompanying impacts, such as fire, deforestation for the sowing of food crops, logging for heating purposes, honey gathering and the building of pirogues); dispute of the Park boundaries by populations in certain areas; commercial traffic in bush meat; forestry exploitation by individuals in the southern part; and pollution of the Park waters with toxic products used for illicit fishing. | UNESCO |
The integration of local communities established in the unlisted corridor between the two sectors of the Park is an important condition and must be implemented by means of participatory management of the natural resources. | UNESCO |
