The Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve is a protected area of tropical rainforest in the Congo Basin, in southwestern Central African Republic, covering about 6,865 square kilometres. Established in 1990, it surrounds Dzanga-Ndoki National Park, together forming the Dzanga-Sangha Complex of Protected Areas, and is part of the Sangha Trinational, a transboundary conservation area shared with Cameroon and the Republic of the Congo that was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012. The reserve is renowned for its populations of forest elephants and western lowland gorillas.
