“The Dzanga Bai is the only known clearing where you get hundreds of forest elephants,” said Ivonne Kienast, a behavioral biologist with the Elephant Listening Project at Cornell University, U.S., who has been working in Dzanga-Sangha since 2021. “You have other clearings where, if you’re lucky, the maximum number of elephants you can see will be 40 or 50. But here, the minimum is 40 or 50.”
