- Tenders are invited for Selection of a Consultant to Set up the Salonga Foundation for Salonga National Park The Congo Basin spans across six countries—Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon - and is home to a mosaic of rivers, forests, savannas, swamps and flooded forests teeming with life -- gorillas, bonobos, elephants and buffalo all call the region home. Of these six countries, DRC contains the largest area of rainforest, with 107 million hectares, amounting to 60 percent of Central Africa's lowland forest cover. There are approximately 10, 000 species of tropical plants in the Congo Basin and 30 percent are unique to the region. Endangered wildlife, including forest elephants, chimpanzees, bonobos, and lowland and mountain gorillas inhabit the lush forests. 400 other species of mammals, 1,000 species of birds and 700 species of fish can also be found here. The Congo Basin has been inhabited by humans for more than 50,000 years and it provides food, fresh water and shelter to more than 75 million people. Nearly 150 distinct ethnic groups exist and the region-s Ba-Aka people are among the most well-known representatives of an ancient hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Their lives and well-being are linked intimately with the forest. The protected areas system in the DRC covers approximately 11 percent (64 million acres) of the national territory. And the DRC has committed to expanding protected areas to cover 15 to 17 percent of its national territory. That-s an increase of up to 35 million acres—roughly the size of Maine. But most protected areas in the DRC are far from secure, even though they are designated as protected; there is not enough money, expertise, or capacity to properly manage or govern them. Timeline of the overall process. The consultancy report will include a timeline for the way forward on the establishment of a Salonga Foundation. C. Timeline for Consultancy Duration: over a period of 4-5 months, ending in November 2022 (tbd depending on TOR) Level of effort: 8-12 weeks Budget: to be determined [Disclaimer: The above text is machine translated.
