African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) has been working with communities in the Congo Basin to reduce the rate of forest degradation and biodiversity loss and to increase livelihood opportunities and incomes for residents. One of the first communities to actively engage with AWF was Ilima, with residents participating in land-use planning, agreeing to stop illegal bushmeat hunting, and embracing sustainable agricultural practices. As a part of its conservation work in the Maringa-Lopori-Wamba Landscape and as an incentive to the community for its continued commitment to conservation, AWF constructed a primary school in Ilima.
