The project set out to learn the distribution and density of bonobo in the far eastern part of its range. This region, covering over 40,000 km2, had never before been fully explored and is one of the largest blocks of intact forest in DRCongo. Understanding and attempting to control threats to the bonobos and other large mammals is our current focus; thus, the project promotes grass-roots lobbies for conservation and is an impetus and guide to forest management. Discoveries and information from the TL2 project: 1) The distribution of bonobos between the Lomami and the Lualaba rivers extends south to the savanna border. 2) A major concentration of bonobos occurs at the southern forest ecotone over an area of about 10,000 km2 from the upper Tshuapa River in the west, to the Lualaba River in the east. 3) Forest elephants in the landscape have been reduced to a single concentration in the watershed of the Tutu River, a tributary of the Lomami. 4) The known distributions of several primates have been extended. 5) A new species of monkey, with the proposed name of Cercopithecus lomamiensis, most closely related to C. hamlyni, has been discovered. 6) The greatest threat to bonobos and all large mammals in the landscape is commercial bushmeat hunting. Most of the bushmeat produced is exported to Kindu and Kisangani. 7) An increasing proportion of commercial bushmeat hunters in the TL2 landscape come from neighboring regions (in particular Kasai Oriental) where hunted fauna have been depleted. Primary activities undertaken by the project include: 1) Inventories of bonobos and other large mammals were conducted throughout TL2 Landscape. 2) Brochure concerning Congolese hunting law in French and Swahili was widely distributed. 3) Two base camps were established in key faunal concentration zones to monitor wildlife and bushmeat hunting. 4) A bushmeat monitoring network was established. 5) Experiments in alternatives to bushmeat hunting were undertaken. New crop varieties were introduced to farmers at Obenge and assistance for agriculture provided. 6) Medical assistance (brought in surgeon on temporary basis) was provided to Obenge. 7) Three workshops attended by community representatives, and traditional and administrative authorities were held in Kindu, capital of Maniema Province, promoting management of bushmeat and initiating community participation in protected area delimitation . 8) Two training workshops were held for provincial wildlife agents in Maniema Province in preparation for re-establishment of wildlife laws. 9) Forums where TL2 conservation initiatives were presented and discussed were organized in the capitals of the three concerned provinces (Orientale, Kasai Oriental and Maniema). Progress in conservation and management initiated by the TL2 project: 1) The ICCN has publicly declared it will create an office in Maniema Province and it supports the creation of a national park in the core of the TL2 landscape. 2) The provincial administration of Maniema has passed a law creating hunting seasons effective as of June 2009. 3) Twenty-four wildlife agents in Maniema Province were trained and initiated in community outreach to prepare local populations for re-instatement of wildlife laws in the province. TL2 Bonobo Landscape, Final Report, Page 3 Acknowledgements The TL2 project has been possible because of the enthusiasm of many people and organizations. Nancy Abraham, who facilitated our first application to the Arcus Foundation, also provided the necessary matching grant through the Abraham Foundation. She and the director of the Abraham Foundation, Messiane Cazé, were essential in their encouragement to search for new sources of funding. Messiane also provided administrative assistance before we had developed our own capacity for project management. Their help was crucial. The Lukuru Foundation, through its president Jo Thompson, generously offered their organizational umbrella from the beginning. Jo has fully appreciated the scale of the project and Lukuru Foundation took much less than the 10% overhead of the original agreement. In addition a portion of overhead covers salary for the TL2 project director. As the project progressed Lukuru has taken an increasingly active role in administration. Our thanks for this essential guidance. It was soon clear that we had underestimated the difficulty of logistics as well as the breadth of political and civil society support required. Additional support was essential. The Abraham Foundation encouraged our first application to the USFWS Great Ape Conservation Fund. This support and the extension we received were essential to completion of the first phase of the TL2 project. Listed below are the primary organizations that have provided support: ARCUS FOUNDATION -- Also provided a second grant that has launched phase two. ALEXANDER ABRAHAM FOUNDATION – Assistance, encouragement and diverse services as well as financial aid. US FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, Great Ape Conservation Fund -- An extension grant that doubled the amount of the original grant assured the successful completion of phase one of the TL2 project. WALLACE GLOBAL FUND – This grant covered the costs of moving the center of our operations south into the most important bonobo population. CANADIAN APE ALLIANCE – Provided funds for a first training session and one of their members, Nick January, has continued to offer critical assistance with GIS IOWA GREAT APE TRUST – Offered critical start-up funds to assure the satellite communications necessary for launching the project down the Lomami River. EDITH McBEAN – took a particular interest in the discovery of a new monkey species and offered help in establishing our first research camp, Losekola, to follow this monkey in the wild. DFID – this is the first major new funding to help establish phase two of the project. OTHER : Both GreenPeace and Conservation International provided funds that made it possible for Terese Hart to attend the CBFP meetings in Paris, Oct. 2007 (travel and per diem). Camp TreeTops (Adirondack summer camp for children) provided funds for medical assistance for residents of Obenge. Primary project staff and consultants are identified in Annex 14. TL2 Bonobo Landscape, Final Report, Page 4 Introduction and Overview The exploration of a remarkably unknown forested region in central DR Congo was initiated from a motorized dugout travelling from Kisangani, down the Congo River then up the Lomami River in March 2007. This landscape is known by three principal rivers, the Tshuapa, the Lomami and the Lualaba (TL2). The Tshuapa and Lualaba are its

This assessment was based on data found in the literature or obtained by personal investigations. These data have not as yet been published, except for the global figures for infected or blind people which were given in the report of a WHO Expert Committee on Onchocerciasis (WHO, 1987). Onchocerciasis is still a major public health problem in Zaire and it therefore seemed important to determine exactly the prevailing situation .of this disease in the different

Box 2100 1211 Geneva 2, Switzerland Appeal Tel: 41 22 791 6033 Fax: 41 22 791 6506 e-mail: [email protected] Coordinating Office Democratic Republic of Congo Relief and Rehabilitation – AFDC93 Appeal Target: US$ 2,389,364 Geneva, 18 August 1999 Dear Friends, The continuing situation of rebellion and war in most regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) along with the resulting displacement of the population, breakdown of infrastructure, and influx of refugees from neighbouring countries suffering internal strife, has resulted in widespread suffering with a vast number of the population in need of basic life sustaining items such as food, medicines, health services and potable water. The Lutheran World Federation / Department for World Service (LWF/DWS), Eglise du Christ au Congo (ECC), and The United Methodist Church propose the following project to assist with food security, building rehabilitation, and improved health services in the Kisingani and Kasai areas. The projects are targeted to the most vulnerable groups such as orphans, the elderly, pregnant and lactating mothers. Assistance will be given to selected health centres, farmers, and rehabilitation of the most severely affected schools. Sanitation services will also be provided through a food for work project. While this Appeal addresses concerns in the Occidental regions, further proposals are being received from ACT members in the Equateur and Bas-Congo regions of the DRC. A revised appeal AFCD93 will be forthcoming once all necessary information has been collected. Please kindly send your contributions to the ACT bank account.

PREFA CE All the emergent states of Africa have to figh t the push and pull of tribal politics, if they are to survive as unitary states. This is not surprising. The boundaries of the large colonies and protectorates which were drawn by European powers put very arbitrary lines round peoples of different languages and cultures, and many of these had long traditions of mutual hostility or of dominance by one tribe and subjection by another. There are, for instance, 200 distinct peoples in the Congo. Three of these are dominant groups with memories of ancient grandeur- the Ba-Kongo, Ba-Luba and Ba-Lunda- and the others are small and often scattered tribelets. Seventy-four dialects are said to be recognised and the major language groups differ as much as English and modern Greek. Four "commercial" languages, K i-kongo, Chi-luba, Swahili and Lingala were recognised by the Belgians but the first three were of the lingua franca type and unfitted, Mrs. Douglas thinks, as a medium for political communication. Tribal feeling has not diminished in Africa; in fact, it has often been increased by 11ew economic rivalries. This pamphlet shows. for instance. that the Ba-Luba, widely distributed throughout the southern Congo as drivers, technicians, traders and cash-crop farmers are disliked for their success, and that this dislike has been expressed by the ballot box.
