Needs and recommended priority actions. The important and immediate priorities for the preservation of Western Lowland Gorillas are: International / transboundary cooperation • Favor trans-border management of the remnant Western Lowland Gorilla population: • Strengthen the initiatives and existing trans-boundary agreement, for the Mayombe forest, between the Republic of Congo, Angola (Cabinda province), and the DRC. • Establish a concerted system of preservation between Angola, Congo Republic and the DRC in order to ensure the survival of the Western Lowland Gorillas, that may have reached non-viable figures in DRC. • Develop the collaboration and trans-boundary information exchange between the three countries on the Western Lowlands Gorilla. • Common planning and integrated management for the trans-boundary gorilla population between Dimonika, Conkouati and the reserves and corridors still to create on the Bas Fleuve. • Develop a new initiative of transboundary preservation in response to the fauna and wood smuggling. A proposition has been developed by the UNDP, and should be carried on. This proposition suggests especially: • Conduct inventories on the gorilla populations in the Mayombe forest in Angola, in the DRC, and in the Republic of Congo, to gather data of gorilla numbers, habitat status as well as collecting genetic material. • Train the local community participants and research staff in census methodologies and for the better enforcement of wildlife laws by the communities. • Conduct socio-economical surveys on the xxxx meat market and trade, the hunting pressure and local attitude toward Mayombe forest preservation.
