[3] In a conference of the Ministers of Forests of Central African Forest Commission (COMIFAC), it had been resolved to establish within the Congo Basin, the Sangha River Tri-national Protected area (STN) encompassing the Dzanga Sangha Special Reserve in the Central African Republic, which incorporates the Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in the Republic of Congo (Brazzaville) and the Lobéké National Park in Cameroon.

[5] In 2012, the entire Sangha Trinational protected area (including Lobéké National Park) became a World Heritage Site.

Dominant species include Malvaceae (Triplochiton scleroxylon, Pterygota, Ceiba pentandra) and Terminalia superba.

[9] Some of the highest densities of African forest elephants and western lowland gorillas in all of Africa are found in Lobéké.

The African green pigeon, hornbills, yellow-throated cuckoo, sandy scops owl and the chocolate-backed kingfisher can all be found in the park.

Specifically within Cameroon and Gabon, it is an important bird area for the Dja River scrub warbler.
