On the Trail to Lac Télé
<p>Atthe end of the Boha road, the sun had barely risen over the trees that form a wall of green where the Likouala forest begins. Already steaming hot, the air dripped with humidity. Shouldering our packs, Ms. Nguidzi turned her head, saying, “this way,” and led us along a narrow footpath into the forest. Mr. Tchicaya, a highly dedicated ranger, took up the rear.</p>
<p>Located in the heart of the world’s largest tropical peatland, the Lac Télé Community Reserve represents the only community-managed protected area in the Republic of Congo. Our guides and porters are Bomitaba people.</p>
