The Democratic Republic of Congo has a number of national parks that are listed in the World Heritage Sites. Five major national parks in the country that are recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage In Danger are the Kahuzi-Biega National Park, Garumba National Park, Salonga and Virunga National Parks and the Okapi Wildlife Reserve. These national parks can also be the places for Sightseeing in Democratic Republic of Congo. Some other major Wildlife of Democratic Republic of Congo are the following:

  • Cheetah
  • Giant Eland
  • Golden Jackal
  • Ground pangolin
  • Leopard
  • Lion
  • Zebra
  • Okapi
  • Antelope
  • Jackal
  • Rhinoceros

But in recent years, there has been cases of poaching and hunting of wild animals. The bush meats are obtained by trapping the animals with wire snares or killed with shot guns. This has been a major environmental and social economic issue and is seriously taken care of. This bush meat crisis is a problem in Congo because of the poor living conditions of the people.

The long terrain of the jungle has swamp regions and flooded grasslands. These regions are ideal for the growth of wide range of floras as well. The Raphia palm and the species of Manilkara and the Garcinia are also found in these grasslands. During your Democratic Republic of Congo Tours, you can explore more of these regions as well as the Wildlife in Democratic Republic of Congo.

G. F. Bernhard Riemann-great mathematician

Image
Bernhard Riemann, born to a poor family in 1826, would rise to become one of the worlds prominent mathematicians in the 19th Century. The list of contributions to geometry are large, and he has a wide range of theorems bearing his name. To name just a few: Riemannian Geometry, Riemannian Surfaces and the Riemann Integral. However, he is perhaps most famous (or infamous) for his legendarily difficult Riemann Hypothesis; an extremely complex problem on the matter of the distributions of prime numbers. Largely ignored for the first 50 years following its appearance, due to few other mathematicians actually understanding his work at the time, it has quickly risen to become one of the greatest open questions in modern science, baffling and confounding even the greatest mathematicians. Although progress has been made, its has been incredibly slow. However, a prize of $1 million has been offered from the Clay Maths Institute for a proof, and one would almost undoubtedly receive...
