The Sangha River forms the international boundary between Cameroon and its neighbors Congo and the Central African Republic (Map 1).
The Sangha River links the three protected areas into one unique ecosystem; at the same time it is the principal vector for human movement and trade in a region characterized by difficult and limited land transport.
Historically the Sangha basin was characterized by regular migrations of human populations into the region, each with its own and often conflicting agendas, as groups developed (and broke) alliances through marriage and trade (palm oil, ivory, and slaves in particular).

It is the effect of rainfall throughout the regions (whose rivers and tributaries contribute to the Congo River) that influence the fluctuations in the flow of the river.
One of the strange ironies of the river's relative cleanliness is the fact that political strife and corruption have stunted development in both Congos for decades, with successive regimes placing little emphasis on building industries which would boost the nations' economies, and, paradoxically, cause greater pollution of the river.

This must be what these rivers are like in the absence of too many fishermen.
When I see the way the people on the Sangha River totally abuse the fishery there—nets of all types and dimensions, fish traps that cover all the retreating waters, trot lines with thousands of hooks—it seems a wonder that there are any fish at all.

 Northern Congo & the Sangha Tri-National Park: Land Use - The Woods Hole Research Center
However, since the Sangha River region is among the last colonized regions of Africa, the scale and the locations of these exploitations were limited.
Today, land use in Northern Congo and the Sangha Tri-National Park region is dominated by wildlife conservation and large-scale industrial logging.
As a result of international conservation efforts, a complex of trans-boundary protected areas were established in the early 1990s, including the Dzanga-Ndoki National Park and Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve in the Central African Republic (1990), the Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in the Republic of Congo (1993), and Lake Lobeké National Park in Cameroon (2001).

The road that goes to the west bifurcates at a village called Bellevue 25 km to the northwest of Souanke; the southern route leads to the village of Garabinzam on the Iye River (map Garangoua), and the northern one proceeds along the border with Cameroon for ca.
At Garabinzam the Iye River was crossed to the north and the team proceeded on a compass bearing of ca.
This was because the area surveyed has a large amount of swamp in the river bottoms and during the wet season it would have been impossible to advance to the north if we travelled through river bottoms.

from here we had a wonderful view over the quiet river and the rest of the boat.

Phase I: As early as the late 1980s the Sangha River Trinational initiative existed as a concept among scientists from international conservation organizations based on the ecological rationale that it represented a vast, relatively intact lowland forest with characteristic flora and fauna.
And concurrently, protected area managers are disconcerted by reports of illegal trapping, in the forest clearings of Lobéké National Park, of the grey parrot—again a population that is “shared” among the three Sangha River Trinational nations.
Activities of particular importance to the understanding the Sangha River Trinational initiative are discussed in greater detail below and as part of the overall analysis of developments to date.
