Zemongo Faunal Reserve is a protected reserve of the Central African Republic. Established in 1925, it was extended and redesignated in 1975, although still open to hunting in 1980. The main rivers are the Vovado River and the Goangoa River, covering an area of 10100km2, of which 1720km2 is inundated forest.[1] The reserve contains dense Isoberlinia savanna woodland and gallery forests and supports eastern chimpanzees and other primate species.[2] The reserve formerly held a large elephant population and a diverse antelope community.[3]
