	The site consists of a block of forest corresponding approximately to the Maringa-Lopori-Wamba landscape delineated by the Congo Basin Forest Partnership and the Commission des Forêts d’Afrique Centrale (IUCN & ICCN 2012). The landscape is situated in the Maringa and Lopori river basins in the Equateur Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Approximately 67% of the site is covered by forest, with swamps covering an additional 26%. The remaining area is a young secondary forest and rural complex (IUCN & ICCN 2012). The block contains four areas offering various levels of protection: [[Lomako-Yokokala Faunal Reserve]], [[Luo Scientific Reserve]], [[Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve]], and [[Iyondji Community Bonobo Reserve]] (IUCN & ICCN 2012).

	Through analysis of all available data from surveys conducted between 2003–2010, it has been estimated that there is a minimum population of 5,000 individuals in the Maringa-Lopori-Wamba block, making it an important stronghold for bonobos (IUCN & ICCN 2012).

	Since 2006, a major participative land-use planning exercise has been conducted, covering about 70% of the landscape (IUCN & ICCN 2012). This work has designated a mosaic of protected areas, community-based natural resource management areas, sylvo-agro-pastoral zones and logging concessions, with the objective of maintaining forest cover and forest connectivity (IUCN & ICCN 2012).
