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.




沿着剛果山脈，東起剛果民主共和國到幾內亞海灣、剛果盆地包括世界四分之一的熱帶雨林,僅次於亞馬遜河流域. 覆蓋100多萬平方公里,這個熱帶雨林擁有大量的野生動植物,而這些野生動植物似乎屬於另一個時代. 厚重的森林大象留下大量的腳印形成了網狀的痕跡，引導熱帶植物和樹木穿過巨大的水庫,這裏成了猩猩、黑猩猩、紅河豬、非洲森林公水牛、金貓、稀罕的黃金貓和優雅的羚羊的家。
