The sharing of results with ANPN and CENAREST is a condition of the research permits being issued. Research permits will not be renewed if reporting requirements have not been met. These are as follows:

    (a)    For projects less than 1 year in length, a mission report is required 30 days following the end of the field work in Gabon. Please use the following template mission report form.

    (b)   For long-term projects (>1 year), an annual report is required every 12 months.
Please use the following template annual report form.

    (c)    A final scientific report is required following the completion of the project.
Please use the following template final report form.

    (d)   Copies of all scientific publications, memoires, theses and popular articles published using data collected inside the parks are required.

    (e)   Copies of posters, calendars or other general material produced.

All scientific reports and publications are submitted to a central database at ANPN and used internally to improve park management policy. Unpublished material will not be circulated without prior consent.

Please email digital copies of all mission reports, annual reports, technical reports, final reports and publications to ANPN at science@parcsgabon.org and to CENAREST at csar_cenarest@yahoo.fr.
