Stretching from the mountains of the moon in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to the coast of the Gulf of Guinea, the Congo Basin contains a quarter of the world's tropical forests, second only to the Amazon Basin. Covering more than one million square miles, this tropical block is teeming with so much wildlife that it seems to belong to another time. Networks of trails formed by the massive feet of forest elephants lead through an expansive reservoir of tropical trees and plants, home to gorillas and chimpanzees, red river hogs and African forest buffaloes, elusive golden cats and elegant bongos.




沿着刚果山脉,东起刚果民主共和国到几内亚海湾、刚果盆地包括世界四分之一的热带雨林,仅次于亚马逊河流域. 覆盖100多万平方公里,这个热带雨林拥有大量的野生动植物,而这些野生动植物似乎属于另一个时代. 厚重的森林大象留下大量的脚印形成了网状的痕迹,引导热带植物和树木穿过巨大的水库,这里成了猩猩、黑猩猩、红河猪、非洲森林公水牛、金猫、稀罕的黄金猫和优雅的羚羊的家。
