Artemis Africa

We stand for Biodiversity & Communities

      Scientific Research

We document threatened species in the Congo Basin using innovative technologies such as passive bioacoustics, GPS telemetry, camera trapping, and spatial analysis to guide protected area management.

              Innovation

Discover our connected hive equipped with IoT sensors — a first in Central Africa. We train communities in sustainable beekeeping techniques and supply equipment to create economic alternatives to forest exploitation.

Energy Solutions

Actions focused on fighting deforestation and improving household energy consumption through local innovations like balls of clay that reduce charcoal use by 70–80%, protect forests, and improve health.

About Artemis Africa

Artemis Africa protects the biodiversity of the Congo Basin while supporting local communities through beekeeping and ecotourism.

The organization combines cutting-edge science, social innovation, and responsible ecotourism. Artemis Africa documents threatened biodiversity with advanced technologies, creates green jobs for local communities (connected beekeeping, ecological balls of clay), and reinvests 30% of tourism revenues into conservation and community development. A virtuous cycle where nature and people thrive together.
"

Artemis Africa is an environmental organization deeply committed to protecting Indigenous peoples who depend on the forest for their livelihoods. This is why we reached out to them: during the preparation of the filming, they proved essential in helping us tell the story of the communities most affected by the devastation caused by deforestation.”

Artemis Africa trained 100 young people who worked to raise awareness on good environmental management during the 9th Jeux de la Francophonie in Kinshasa. The Rector of the University of Kinshasa, Professor Jean-Marie Kayembe Ntumba, praised the initiative and encouraged the organization Artemis Africa.”

In order to meet the region’s energy needs and provide economic opportunities for communities living around national parks and reserves, the association launched training programs in late 2019 on the production of “clay briquettes.” Made from a mixture of clay, water, and organic waste, these briquettes are used together with charcoal for cooking, significantly reducing the amount of charcoal required.”

The Ecomob project (Artemis Africa) in the DRC demonstrated the power of engaged youth in the fight against pollution and in promoting sustainable development. The impressive results achieved in Kinshasa show that, collectively, we are capable of creating a significant impact.”
