Bili-Uere Hunting Reserve
Bili-Uere Hunting Reserve (French: Domaine de Chasse Bili-Uere) is a hunting reserve in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, covering 32,748.38 km2 (12,644.22 sq mi).
Since 2005, the protected area is considered a Lion Conservation Unit together with Garamba National Park.[1][2]
More than 100,000 forest elephants lived in this vast landscape in the early 1970s.
Today, this area faces major problems, such as wildlife conservation, illegal mining and bushmeat hunting.[3]
