Gabon’s Ali Bongo Ondimba wants the world to know he’s serious about wildlife conservation.
The president of the densely forested Central African nation made his private helicopter available so that U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman could see forest elephants and even a rare pangolin in one of the nation’s flagship state parks, the Wonga Wongue Reserve. Bongo is hoping to use the country’s wildlife sanctuaries to build a tourism industry.
