Underreported: Unspoiled Gabon
Thursday, May 17, 2007
The Central African country Gabon looks much the same today as it did centuries ago. It's one of the last remaining vestiges of unspoiled wild Africa, and it's home to many plant and animal species found nowhere else in the world. We find out how Gabon has managed to preserve its natural resources even as surrounding countries are struggling with civil war and environmental exploitation. Dr. James Deutsche is the director of Africa programs at the Wildlife Conservation Society.
“Gabon: The Last Eden” airs on Friday, May 18th at 10pm on the National Geographic Channel.
