A five-week pilot study was conducted in the Botala region of the Likouala swamps, northern Congo. The aims of the study were to: (1) obtain preliminary information on distribution and density of large mammals in the swamps, particularly elephants and gorillas; (2) collect preliminary data on hunting practices and the importance and extent of the bushmeat trade in the Botala region; (3) assess the possible impact of hunting on large mammal populations in the swamps; (4) discuss the potential and/or need for conservation in the Likoula swamps. Swamp vegetation where Raphia sp. is dominant contained exceptionally high gorilla densities, strongly suggesting that the Likouala swamps offer primary habitat and hold a high population of gorillas. Elephants use the swamps during the dry season as part of an annual migration from terra firma forests, the motivation apparently being to feed on Raphia sp. and obtain water. Poaching at this time is heavy. Monkey densities were low, though they increased with distance into the swamps. Hunting is extensive in the region, with a system of canals allowing pirogue access deep into the swamps. Market hunting, along with the loss of traditional hunti
