An Inaugural Voyage: Visit AWF's Lomako Conservation Science Centre

The Lomako Conservation Science Centre will allow scientists to do something few will ever have the chance to do—study humankind's closest relative, the rare bonobo, in the wild. For two years, AWF worked with public partners and the people who live in the surrounding areas to open the new Centre in the Lomako-Yokokola Faunal Reserve in the Équateur Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In addition to bringing world-class scientists to study at the Centre, AWF is planning to introduce a conservation tourism component that will bring a limited number of tourists to this remote and pristine region. AWF CEO Patrick Bergin recently traveled with a team of AWF experts and public representatives to the newly opened Centre. So sit back and enjoy AWFs inaugural voyage to the Lomako Conservation Science Centre.
