CONGO: Protecting The Home of The Gorillas

Deep in the northern region of the Republic of the Congo lies a vast tropical rainforest that holds a surprising secret about modern wildlife conservation. While many believe that national parks are the only safe havens for critically endangered species, this documentary reveals why a staggering 70,000 western lowland gorillas are thriving inside a commercial logging territory. This is the story of a unique pact between humans and nature. At the same time, the film addresses the harsh realities facing the Congo Basin. Armed rangers wage a constant battle against the illegal bushmeat market and high-value elephant poaching networks, while local villages face devastating crop raids by forest elephants. From traditional Baka pygmy communities using ancient medicine trees to modern towns built on sustainable timber jobs, this footage highlights the delicate balance between economic survival and protecting the world's second-largest rainforest.
