Today, on March 8th, Chengeta Wildlife honors International Women’s Day by reflecting on the importance of women in community-engaged conservation.

Bonobos are great apes that are closely related to chimpanzees and humans. Chengeta Wildlife contributes to conservation efforts through active community engagement and ecoguard training to protect endangered wildlife, including the bonobo in the DRC.

We are delighted to share that Chengeta Wildlife has partnered with the Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature (ICCN) and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to train ecoguards in Salonga National Park (SNP), in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Chengeta actively operates in the Central African Republic’s Dzanga Sangha Protected Areas Complex. This protected area is one of the remaining strongholds of Western Lowland Gorillas.

Community engagement. Critically endangered forest elephants. Women empowerment. Youth integration. Unemployment. Health – and healthy forests. Pangolins, and the ever-growing scale trade.

Maybe dragons really do exist, and perhaps more so in the form of a small and ancient creature. A shy and secretive mammal that humbly feeds on ants and termites, that adorns an armor of golden, bronze or gleaming black scales.

Chengeta Wildlife has successfully trained 900 government rangers across 8 different countries since its inception. Training and mentoring are designed to reduce threats.

It is with deepest sorrow and regret that Chengeta Wildlife confirms the death of Rory Young, our co-founder and CEO.

At the end of 2018, we finished our second month mentorship and training in the Dzanga Sangha Protected Area in the Central African Republic. This area is home to the majestic Forest Elephant, Lowland Gorilla and Chimpanzees.
