Okapi Conservation Project
The Okapi Conservation Project OCP was founded in 1987 for the protection of the okapis (''Okapia johnstoni'') and their habitat. The okapi are only found in the Democratic Republic of Congo〔(【引用サイトリンク】Okapi Conservation Project )〕 and are seen as the major flagship species of the Ituri Forest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Okapi Conservation Project )〕 The OCP has about one hundred staff members and one hundred and ten government rangers under the direction of the Institute in Congo for the Conservation of Nature. The Okapi Conservation Project is partnered with the Wildlife Conservation Network〔(【引用サイトリンク】Okapi Conservation Project )〕 OCP's founder John Lukas is also a founding member of the Wildlife Conservation Network.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title =WCN Board of Directors )〕 In 1992 the project helped create the Okapi Wildlife Reserve, encompassing 13,700 square kilometers of the Ituri Forest and in 1996, it was designated as a United Nations World Heritage Site.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Okapi Conservation Project )〕
==2012 Attack==
In June 2012 the headquarters for the Okapi Wildlife Reserve was taken over by poachers, intent on retaliating against the staff who had been stopping their elephant poaching and mining operations. Six guards and other staff as well as 13 okapi were killed in the incident. The local village was looted, women were raped and the conservation center was burned down.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Tragic Losses in the Heart of Darkness )〕
