Pendjari National Park

The Pendjari National Park ((フランス語:Parc National de la Pandjari)) lies in north western Benin, adjoining the Arli National Park in Burkina Faso. Named for the Pendjari River, the national park is known for its wildlife and is home to some of the last populations of big game like elephants, West African lions, hippopotamuses, buffalo and various antelopes in West Africa. The park is also famous for its richness in birds.
The Pendjari National Park is an area of 2755 square kilometres in the far north-west of Benin. The park is part of the WAP complex (W-Arli-Pendjari) which is a vast protected area in Benin, Burkina Faso and Niger. The hills and cliffs of the Atakora range make the north-west one of the most scenic areas of Benin. They provide a wonderful backdrop to the Pendjari National Park, which, in its isolation, remains one of the most interesting in West Africa.
In March 2009 it was nominated as a tentative site for UNESCO's World Heritage Site program.
==Ecology==

The rocky cliffs of the area are sparsely wooded with ''Burkea africana'', ''Detarium microcarpum'', ''Lannea acida'', ''Sterculia setigera'' and ''Combretum ghasalense''. On the deep soils of some of the summits and the Atakora escarpment one finds a greater variety of plant species with ''Isoberlinia doka'' and ''Afzelia africana''. The Pendjari River has an impressive gallery forest. The park includes both Sudan and Northern Guinea savannas, with areas of grassland dominated by ''Acacia sieberiana'' and ''Mitragyna inermis'' or ''Terminalia macroptera''. There is a high annual rainfall of around 1100 mm; The park is open year-round, although from June–November rainfall can be heavy and certain parts of the park may be inaccessible.
