Bombo Lumene (a short documentary)

Bombo Lumene, short for “Domaine de chasse et Reserve de Bombo Lumene”, was founded in 1968 as a hunting domain. In 1976, a section of the land between the Bombo and Lumene rivers was declared a reserve in order to protect its flora and fauna. The goal was to promote conservation and the sustainable use of its natural resources. It is currently classified under the IUCN category VI, meaning it is a protected area that allows for the sustainable use of its natural resources. Bombo Lumene is managed by the ICCN (Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature).
Our goal is for Bombo Lumene to survive and thrive despite the population growth of Kinshasa and its accompanying challenges, and become a model for ecotourism, conservation, and development in the western Democratic Republic of Congo. It is our mission to preserve this unique landscape and its biodiversity for generations to come.
