A night alone in Dzanga Bai with the forest elephants

I spent the night alone on the platform in Dzanga Bai, 40 minutes on foot from the next human being. It´s a magical place on Earth in the middle of the jungle that needs to be protected. I want to share the magic with you.
We need to do everything in our power to protect the last remaining truly wild places on our planet. The magic forests of the Congo Basin (mostly in the Democratic Republic of Congo) absorbs tons of carbon dioxide, a key in the fight against climate change. It has been called the world's “second lung,” following the Amazon.
Forest elephants, forest hogs, bongos (antilopes), forest buffalos and countless other species are part of this amazing eco-system. Feel free to contact me if you are keen to support one of the projects who are fighting for the protection of this region and its inhabitants.
