Salonga National Park, D.R.C.

Project Objectives

Support the development of conservation management plans by providing remote sensing and GIS data

Project Activities

Providing a mosaic of satellite images for the park
Updating park boundaries in collaboration with University of Kinshasa ERIAFT

Products & Applications

We have produced a simple mosaic of the Salonga National Park and its buffer zones using ortho-rectified images from the Geo-Cover collection. This mosaic is being used as a base map for field survey in the region; it was also used, in conjunction with the legal definition of the park, to re-define the protected area boundaries. To obtain the full-resolution spatial products and their metadata files, please contact Nadine Laporte.
