Yangambi, la cité scientifique du Congo au cœur de la jungle

2,000 kilometers from Kinshasa, surrounded by trees and nestled on the banks of the Congo River, hides an unexpected gem: the Yangambi Science Center. Founded by the Belgians in the 1930s, it was for a long time the world's leading research center in biology and tropical agroforestry. Abandoned after independence in 1960, miraculously spared from the Congo wars, it is now slowly being reborn, thanks to the support of scientists and donors.
