BUNIA, DRC: 2 suspected wildlife traffickers arrested, 3 okapi skins seized! Operation led by ICCN with judicial authorities & police, supported by Conserv Congo intelligence. The okapi exists naturally ONLY in #DRC Our heritage is NOT for sale! @Amini16 @IccnRdc #SaveTheOkapi

2 suspected wildlife traffickers arrested in Kisangani with an okapi skin, hooves & a leopard skin. The operation, supported by Conserv Congo intelligence, involved the Prosecutor’s Office, @comgenpnc & @IccnRdc . Investigations continue. @okapiproject @Amini16 @IsralMutombo11

The horn is only the visible part of a much larger crime. Rhino trafficking is a global criminal network involving intermediaries, financiers and buyers. The DRC may not have rhinos, but its geography makes it vulnerable to trafficking routes. @Amini16 @rhinorecfund @IccnRdc

The forests around Kisangani are under increasing pressure from charcoal production, unsustainable agriculture, and limited livelihood opportunities. Saving the Congo Basin cannot mean choosing forests over people. Let us empower communities!

#GreenNetwork, @ConservC soutient les communautés du territoire de Kabare (Sud-Kivu). Un accord de subvention signé avec Maisha na Mazingira appuie l’élevage familial de lapins pour renforcer les moyens de subsistance et la sécurité alimentaire autour de Kahuzi-Biega. @Amini16

A few months after launching GREENetwork in Loile, Tshuapa Province, communities are already harvesting the fruits of their efforts. This is what conservation looks like when people are placed at the center. Communities are not just beneficiaries - they are partners, actors

On 26 Aug 2026, an operation in Kolwezi, DRC resulted in the seizure of 60 kg of ivory and the detention of 2 suspects. The investigation now continues to identify the source, transport network, facilitators and intended buyers. A seizure is only the beginning. @Amini16

Honored to be selected as an Ashoka Fellow. This strengthens my commitment to building solutions from the Congo that connect conservation, environmental justice, community empowerment and systemic change. Grateful to @Ashoka and everyone who has walked this journey with us.

A viral video brought us to Djolu, where a wild bonobo named Likonda had moved close to a village. With authorities, local leaders & communities, we assessed the situation and explored solutions for coexistence. 🎥 Full Djolu mission video coming soon. @Amini16 #ConservCongo

Today, we honour the brave rangers protecting the DRC's natural heritage. From ICCN rangers to community rangers in Sankuru, Tshuapa , Tshopo, and Équateur, they risk their lives every day to protect wildlife, forests and future generations. Nature needs rangers. @Amini16

5years ago, seeing a bonobo in this part of Tshuapa was rare. Today, communities report at least 9 bonobo groupsliving near villages. This is a remarkable conservation success-but it also brings a new challenge: human-bonobo coexistence. Recovery deserves support, not complacency

Proud 2 contribute to 🇨🇩's National Ivory Action Plan under @CITES through wildlife crime investigations, operational support, community engagement & partnerships with @IccnRdc , law enforcement, judicial authorities & alternative livelihoods for local communities. @Amini16

Three suspected wildlife traffickers were arrested in Lubumbashi, and a fresh lion skin was seized during a joint operation involving Conserv Congo, @IccnRdc and state authorities. Investigations continue. #StopWildlifeCrime #DRC @Amini16 @LionRecovery

Conserv Congo, in collaboration with the @IccnRdc and the @comgenpnc has supported a successful operation in Beni, North Kivu, leading to the seizure of elephant ivory and a lion skin allegedly linked to the illegal wildlife trade. 3 suspects arrested. @LionRecovery @bigcat

Les frontières sont la première ligne de défense contre le trafic de la faune sauvage et des ressources naturelles. À Luau-Dilolo, @ConservC a réuni les services de l’État pour renforcer la coordination, le partage de renseignements et les mécanismes d’alerte face aux traffic.

Conserv Congo a doté l’UALCN de Tshuapa d’un système Starlink afin de renforcer la connectivité des communautés engagées dans la protection de la biodiversité. Une conservation efficace commence par des communautés connectées, informées et capables de faire entendre leur voix!

During a recent patrol in Lomako–Iyondji, @ConservC secured the release of a rare Congo Peafowl trapped in a snare. Found nowhere else on Earth,this species is a symbol of the DRC’s extraordinary biodiversity. Protecting wildlife means protecting our natural heritage & community

@ConservC, avec @AWF_Official et l’appui de @StateINL au poste frontalier de Lufu avec les services de l’État pour renforcer la lutte contre les trafics transfrontaliers. La protection de la biodiversité passe par une meilleure gouvernance des frontières et une action collective.

@ConservC , avec @IccnRdc et @AWF_Official , @StateINL a mené une mission de renseignement dans Iyondji–Lomako. Réseaux de trafic identifiés, routes cartographiées, modes opératoires documentés. transformer l’information en actions concrètes pour protéger la biodiversité en RDC.
