Spread over Cameroon, the Republic of Congo and Gabon, TRIDOM gets its name from the initials of Dja, Odzala and Minkébé - three famous protected areas, each in a different country. The huge TRIDOM forest covers 178,000 km², or 10% of the whole Congo Basin rainforest. TRIDOM holds the largest – though declining - elephant population in the Congo Basin and harbours most of the biodiversity typically found in central Africa’s rainforests, including a very large great population of both western gorillas and central chimpanzees. Most of TRIDOM has a human population density of 1-2 inhabitants per km², with people living in small towns and villages along the sparse road network. An estimated 10,000 Baka indigenous people inhabit TRIDOM. WWF has been contributing to the management
