Gabon, in a Land Unknown to Men

The flooded areas of Loango National Park in Gabon form an extraordinary biodiversity. A rare ensemble where beaches, meadows, lagoons and forests come together. Humans have never settled here. The elephants, hippos, gorillas and other species that live in the park must adapt to different climatic periods.
