In parallel with the development of income-generating activities for the Park's local communities, the use of an ultralight motorised aircraft should make it possible to significantly improve ecological monitoring and surveillance in the Park, where 170 elephants, numerous species of antelope, chimpanzees, buffaloes and many other species still exist.
