Mangroves National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a vital protected area known for its rich biodiversity and unique mangrove ecosystems. Located along the Congo River's coast, this park plays a crucial role in preserving the habitat of numerous species of plants, birds, and marine life. The park's mangroves act as a natural barrier against coastal erosion and serve as breeding grounds for fish and other aquatic organisms, making it an important site for both conservation and local livelihoods.
