Gabon's Ecosystems

Discover the exceptional richness of Gabon's natural habitats, true jewels of biodiversity in the heart of equatorial Africa.

Gabon's Ecological Diversity

Gabon is home to some of Africa's richest and best-preserved ecosystems. With 88% of its territory covered by forest, 13 national parks and an 800 km coastline, the country is a true sanctuary for global biodiversity.

This mosaic of habitats shelters exceptional wildlife and flora, including iconic species such as the forest elephant, the gorilla, the chimpanzee, the mandrill and the leopard, as well as thousands of plant species, some of them endemic.

Our commitment is to help you discover these natural treasures while contributing to their preservation for future generations.
