Bakoumba is a small town in the Ogooué-Ivindo province of Gabon, located in the south-central part of the country, about 30 kilometers from the provincial capital, Franceville. Located in the transition zone between tropical rainforest and grassland, the surrounding area is covered by dense tropical vegetation and has rich biodiversity resources. The local economy is based on traditional agriculture and forestry, with residents growing food crops such as cassava and maize, while collecting a small amount of non-timber forest products.
