Established in 1970, the park covers approximately 10,885 square kilometers and is known for its rich biodiversity and dense tropical rainforest. It is home to several endangered species, including the eastern lowland gorilla, the okapi, and the Congo peafowl.

Despite its ecological significance, the park faces challenges such as poaching, illegal mining, and armed conflicts, which threaten its wildlife and habitats.
