	Ituri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ituri is a region located in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
		From the beginning of the Second Congo War in 1998, it was held by soldiers of the Uganda People's Defense Force (UPDF) and the Ugandan-backed Movement for Liberation faction of the Rally for Congolese Democracy (RCD-ML).
		The creation of a new province under the governorship of a Hema contributed to the start of the current Ituri conflict, that has caused thousands of deaths.

		The creation of anew province under the governorship of a Hema contributed tothe start of the current Ituri conflict, that has caused thousands ofdeaths.
		Most official cartographers do not include the new province, and those referring to it as a "province" rather than a"region" are sometimes viewed as having a pro-Uganda bias.

		The African rainforest is able to support this diversity in any one location because each species has adapted to feed on a unique type of seed.
		Only a few large mammal species exist in tropical rainforests: the okapi, the elephant, the pygmy hippo, the bongo, and the gorilla of Africa; the tapir, the rhinoceros, the forest deer, and the elephant of Asia; and the tapir of South America.
		Gorillas are represented by two subspecies: the western gorilla of lowland rainforests in Gabon, Cameroon, Nigeria, and Congo; and the eastern or mountain gorilla of the montane cloud forests in Uganda,

		The Ituri Rainforest is centered on the upper watershed of the Ituri River and is bordered by savanna in the north and northeast and the Western Rift highlands to the east and southeast.
		The Ituri Forest is of particular interest for conservation because it probably contains the greatest diversity of mammalian fauna of all forests in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Curran 1992, Wilkie et.al 1998).
		The Ituri Forest is not ready to face the increasing demand of the timber market and other human pressions (hunters have used roads built by loggers) because there is no land use planning covering the local, regional as well as the national level.

	Global Partners \| Richard Peterson, p.1
		The Ituri holds over 13 different species of primates as well as an array of large terrestrial mammals including the forest elephant (Loxidonta africana cyclotis), forest buffalo (Syncerus caffer nanus), giant forest hog (Hylochoerus meinertzhageni), and the okapi (Okapia johnstoni), a rainforest giraffe endemic to Congo and most abundant in the central Ituri.
		Botanically the Ituri is of interest because of its large extent of mbau forests, a monodominant forest type in which Gilbertiodendron dewevrei (mbau) constitute 90 per cent of the canopy, a feature quite rare in the tropical realm.
		That this area, marked by such dramatic signs of socioeconomic decay, is also the home of one of the largest rainforest reserves in all of Central Africa is more than a coincidence.

	Okapi conservation Congo
		The Okapi Conservation Project, initiated in 1987 to secure a protected area for okapi in the wild, is dedicated to protecting and preserving the flagship species of the Ituri forest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) while improving the lives of the people who live in the area.
		In 1992, the Okapi Wildlife Reserve was given official protected status, creating a reserve covering 8,500 square miles of the Ituri rainforest, one of the most biologically diverse places on earth.
		The okapi is a symbol of pride for the country, and may be the link to saving the Ituri forest and the people who depend on the region for food, water and basic materials.
