7. The present study in D.R. Congo started on 31 July 1998, but 10 days after it unavoidably came to a full stop because of the outbreak of an armed conflict. The conflict began in Kivu on 3 August 1998 and has expanded to the whole country. Therefore, we were unable to enter the Kahuzi-Biega National Park. The civil war shows no sign of coming to an end. On 13 April 1999 the Congolese authors stated that it was still impossible to enter the Kahuzi-Biega National Park.
