Ansongo-Ménaka Partial Wildlife Reserve

The reserve extends over 17,500 square kilometers of land, encompassing diverse habitats from arid zones to areas near the Niger River basin.

Established in 1950, the reserve received official protection status under Mali's national conservation framework to safeguard local wildlife populations.

Local communities maintain traditional resource management practices that align with the reserve's conservation objectives through supervised grazing and harvesting.

Visitors require permits from Mali's wildlife authorities to enter the reserve, and guides are mandatory for all excursions within the protected area.

The reserve contains specific corridors that support the seasonal movements of elephant herds between different sections of the protected territory.
