- Wildlife in the Central African Republic is in the vast natural habitat located between the Congo Basin's rain forests and large savannas, where the human density was smaller than 0.5 per km2 prior to 1850. The forest area of 22.755 million, considered one of the richest storehouses of wildlife spread over national parks, hunting reserves and community hunting areas, experienced an alarming loss of wildlife because of greed for ivory and bushmeat exploitation by hunters – mostly Arab slavers from across the borders of the Central African Republic (Central African Republic) with Chad and Sudan. Realizing the serious threat to the wildlife, the colonists – French administration – in 1935 and later the government of the Republic of CRA, enacted laws and created National parks and preserves, which covered 16.6% of the country. The three most coveted national parks are the Manovo-Gounda St. Floris National Park with its reported "greatest concentrations of hippos in the world", the Bamingui-Bangoran National Park in the north; and the Dzanga-Sangha Reserve which covers rain forests. The Manovo-Gounda-Saint-Floris National Park, in particular was inscribed to the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites in 1988 in recognition of the diversity of life present within it in respect of its wealth of flora and fauna. In 2014, the Chinko Nature Reserve in eastern CRA was granted management through a public-private partnership with the Central African Republic Ministry of Wildlife, Water and Forestry and African Parks, a conservation NGO that takes on the direct, long-term management of national parks and protected areas in partnership with governments to save wildlife, restore landscapes and ensure sustainable livelihoods for local communities. African Parks has a mandate to manage this protected area, now referred to as the Chinko Project, for the next 50 years. However, the legal instruments were not effective in controlling poaching activities for profits, as institutional support for protected areas has all along been weak with hunters and loggers not letting go their activities even in national parks. Most of the timber extracted from the CRA is exported to Europe. Situated in the east of the CRA, Chinko is one of the region's only remaining strongholds for numerous species including the highly threatened Lord Derby eland, bongo and chimpanzees. This important ecosystem, however, is under tremendous pressure from militarized ivory poachers and intense levels of cattle grazing. The richness of the wildlife of the Central African Republic is reflected in its about 3,600 species of plants, 663 birds, 209 mammals (includes two endemic species and 11 threatened species), 187 reptiles and 29 amphibians.

- 中非共和国的野生生物分布在广袤的刚果河流域的热带雨林和大稀树草原之间的自然栖息地，1850年之前那里的人口密度为每平方公里小于0.5到。这里有二二七五五○○○公顷的森林面积，处于国家公园间，是野生动物最丰富的地带之一。过去这里野生生物的损失令人震惊，原因是猎人对象牙和野生动物肉类的贪婪掠夺，这些人大部分来自中非共和国全国各地的与乍得和苏丹边境交换的阿拉伯奴隶。 法国殖民者和后来的中非共和国政府认识到捕猎对野生动物的严重威胁，制定了法律、成立国家公园和保护区，这些保护区覆盖了16.6％的国家面积。最有名的三个国家公园，被称为“在世界上最大的河马栖息地”的馬諾沃-貢達聖弗洛里斯國家公園、北部的巴明吉—班戈兰国家公园，以及有大片雨林的。馬諾沃-貢達聖弗洛里斯國家公園由于动植物种类的多样化被列入了1988年联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录。 不过，法律文书并不能控制偷猎活动，因为保护区的公共支持力度始终不够，盗猎者和伐木者的活动甚至在国家公园都十分猖獗。中非砍伐的绝大部分木材均出口欧洲。 中非的野生生物种类繁多，包括约3600种植物、663种鸟类、209种哺乳动物（包括2种特有物种和11种濒危物种）、187种爬行动物和29种两栖动物。 (zh)
