Chinko Conservation Area

Chinko is located in the east of the Central African Republic and covers an area of 55,000 km², including a core conservation zone of 24,300 km². The protected area is managed by the NGO African Parks in partnership with the Central African government. In 2020, this partnership was renewed for a further 25 years, with plans to develop a land-use plan, leading to the creation of the Chinko National Park and the development of a long-term integrated conservation strategy to develop sustainable livelihoods for local communities.
