World Careful Flame Day

A day for cooking fires, candles, heaters, lamps, grills, ceremonies, workshops, and the respect every culture gives controlled fire.

Regional/Cultural Day

Jour du Sangha

The river, the forest, the tri-national park that connects Congo, Cameroon, and Gabon. The Sangha region is where the borders are lines on maps but the forest is one continuous canopy. The logging roads, the rivers, the pygmy communities, and the elephants who cross borders without passports. The Sangha is Congo at its most interconnected.
