"Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo has a lot to
celebrate.

The park, which celebrated its 30th anniversary on December 31 of 2023, also
shared an exciting conservation milestone: 2023 was the first year without any
elephant poaching detected.

“We didn’t detect any elephants killed in the Park this year, a first for the
Park since [we] began collecting data. This success comes after nearly a decade
of concerted efforts to protect forest elephants from armed poaching in the
Park,” Ben Evans, the Park’s management unit director, said in a press
release."
