The Cuvette Centrale (French: "Central Basin") is a region of forests and wetlands in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Some definitions consider the region to extend into the Republic of the Congo as well.[1] It lies in the center of the Congo Basin, bounded on the west, north and east by the arc of the Congo River.
