The network of protected areas in the DRC covers around 13% of the national territory. It comprises seven national parks, nature reserves, game reserves and other types of protected areas.
 
The DRC government is committed to implementing the global target of conserving 30% of terrestrial and marine ecosystems through well-connected networks of protected areas and Other Area-Effective Conservation Measures (AECMs) by 2030.
 
WWF's strategic approach to protected area management also aims to reduce poverty and contribute to national development goals.
