      "In the forests of Precious Woods, the fauna and flora live in their original habitat thanks to gentle and sustainable management. Hundreds of tree species share the forest in Gabon with large populations of various protected large mammals such as elephants, gorillas, and chimpanzees. [...] HCV areas have a very high level of biodiversity, in which large populations of indigenous animal species live or which constitute rare and fragile ecosystems. HCV areas also include zones that are important for the local population, for example as a source of food. If places have a religious or social significance or are part of the national or international heritage, they are likewise protected integrally as HCV areas. In our forests in Brazil and Gabon, 70 300 ha have been identified as HCV areas and excluded from use."
