Lopes-Ocande Ecosystem and Cultural Heritage Landscape The Lopes-Ocande Ecosystem and Cultural Heritage Landscape demonstrates the unusual boundary between a dense and well-protected tropical rainforest and a remnant savannah environment, with diverse species, including endangered large mammals. A growing number of endangered large mammals have found their final habitat in Lope-Okande. It also retains records of biological evolution during the rainforest-grassland transition period over the past 15,000 years.
The Lope-Okhand Ecosystem and Culture illustrate the ecological and biological processes of organisms and habitats adapting to post-glacial climate change, showing a history of 400,000 years, from the Paleolithic, Neolithic, Iron Age to contemporary Bantu and Pygmies. The Lope-Okande ecosystem and cultural heritage landscape are evidence of the successive lives of different ethnic groups who have left behind extensive and relatively well-preserved habitats around mountains, caves and shelters, as well as ironmaking and collection of extraordinary 1800 rock carvings.
The heritage, which includes Neolithic and Iron Age sites, along with rock-carving art found there, reflects the main migration routes of the Bantu and other West African peoples along the Ogowe Valley to the dense evergreen Congolese forest in the north, and then to central, eastern and southern Africa, which determined the development of sub-Saharan Africa.
Ogowe River is a river of Central Africa. It originates at the northern foot of the Leketi Mountain in central Congo, flows northwest through the central Gabon lowlands, and flows into the Atlantic Ocean south of Port Gentil. The Ogowe River is 850 kilometers long, has a drainage area of 205,000 square kilometers, and an average flow of 4746 meter3/second. It is one of the rivers with abundant water in Africa. The valley of the Ogowe River is rocky and the 376-kilometer section of the lower reaches is navigable during the rainy season. The Ogooué River is the largest river in the Republic of Gabon. It runs through the entire territory of Gabon. It has many tributaries, large and stable water volume, abundant hydropower resources in the upper reaches, and benefits from shipping in the middle and lower reaches. The main stream is navigable all year round. A lake is reached by boat along the south of the Ogoe River. On the many rivers that flow into the lake, flocks of gannets can be seen swimming in it.
