The conservation of natural resources and biodiversity are managed by two Ministries, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests, and the Ministry of Fisheries and Environment. They are supported by national technical institutions, such as the Instituto Nacional de Desarrollo Forestal y Gestion del Sistema de Areas Protegidas (INDEFOR), and the National Institute for Biodiversity conservation (INCOMA). A decree forbidding capture, trade and consumption of primate bushmeat was recently issued (Decree 72/2007).

Legislation National. The Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Tourism is the government body in charge of nature conservation. The Nature Conservation Act Ordinance-Law 69.041, 1969 defines national parks. Law 82.002, 1982, defines faunal and game reserves and lists species for which hunting and trapping are prohibited. There are 4 main categories of Protected Area in DRC: - National parks (9) - Game reserves (1) - Forest reserves (7) - Faunal reserves (2) There are also areas set aside for hunting purposes and for scientific purposes. The Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature (ICCN) manages all these protected areas. A Forest Code was established in 2003, under which the state owns all forests and defines legitimate uses for them. Legal mechanisms and a zoning system are to follow. There is concern regarding the fact that forest people’s rights are recognised, and there has been little civil society involvement in the formulation of this code (Caldecott and Miles, 2005). Forest exploitation taxes are very low, US$ 0.06/ha; the World Bank estimates that 600,000km² will be zoned as production forests. Timber extraction will be facilitated by more than US$ 270 million in promised donors funds, equivalent to more than 5,000km unpaved roads, or more than 1,000km paved roads. • CMS, 1990 • CBD, 1994 • WHC, 1974 • ACCNNR, 1976 • CITES, 1976 • Trilateral Memorandum of Understanding between the Office Rwandais du Tourisme et des Parcs Nationaux (ORTPN), the Uganda Wildlife Authority, and the Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature (ICCN) on the collaborative conservation of the Central Xxxxxxxxx Rift Transfrontier Protected Area Network. • CMS Gorilla Agreement, 2008 There are 5 World Heritage Sites, all five listed as WHS in Danger, due to human pressure: Virunga NP, Garamba NP, Kahuzi-Xxxxx XX, Xxxxxxx XX, Okapi Faunal Reserve.
