History
The park was added to the World Heritage List in 1988. After serious problems with poachers who may have killed as much as 80% of the wildlife, the site was added to the list of World Heritage in Danger in 1997.
The NGO Africa Conservation Trust (http://www.actrust.org/) now manages the park in partnership with the CAR government.
