In Republic of Congo, we are exploring a potential pilot in the Lac Tele Community Reserve which has a community of roughly 20,000 people, along with the highest known densities of lowland gorillas globally. Much of the reserve is peatland and is co-managed by the government and WCS. 

In the Amazon Basin, we are also actively exploring options for HIFOR pilots in Jaú National Park and Indigenous territories in Amazonas. We’re also evaluating the potential for Indigenous territory HIFOR pilots in the Colombian Amazon, including Território da Yaguares.
