La nouvelle esp\u00e8ce de \u00a0poisson-chat d\u00e9couverte par l\u2019\u00e9quipe du docteur Monsembula est un sp\u00e9cimen de taille moyenne, de couleur marron. Avec toutes ces caract\u00e9ristiques et ses grandes moustaches, Clarias Monsembulai rejoint d\u2019office la famille des poissons-chats. Pour le docteur Raoul Monsembula, cette d\u00e9couverte n\u2019est pas une premi\u00e8re.

“It often happens to us to find strange things”, confides Dr. Monsembula, far from imagining that one day it would be a discovery after having brought back with his team, the new specimen of a river of the park of Salonga.<\/p> \n \n

“It wasn’t until we got to New York and there was a real fuss about this fish that I realized it was indeed a new species,” says the Greenpeace member and biology professor.<\/p> \n \n

Protecting the Congo Basin to preserve cultural identity is imperative<\/strong><\/h2> \n \n

The Congo Basin is a region with more than 10,000 plant species, 400 mammal species, 1,000 bird species and 1,250 fish species. For Dr. Raoul Monsembula, it is urgent to protect this place.<\/p> \n \n

“What is true is that there are many endemic species in the fresh waters of the Congo basin. We have to keep this ecosystem intact, because the more we destroy it, the more we lose our identity, our culture. These species are part of our diet and many people live from them. The destruction of peatlands and forests due to mining and oil exploitation, which do not benefit the people, causes a huge loss. <\/p> \n \n

The Congo Basin is the watershed of the Congo River in Africa. It covers 4 million km\u00b2 where 93.2 million people live, with very different densities in different areas.<\/p> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
