Birougou National Park, National park in Ngounié Province and Ogooué-Lolo Province, Gabon
The Birougou National Park extends across dense rainforest and mountainous terrain, forming a natural habitat for numerous primates, birds, and reptile species.
The establishment of the park in 2002 marked a significant step in Gabon's conservation efforts, leading to its nomination as a Tentative World Heritage Site.
Indigenous communities near the park boundaries maintain traditional practices while depending on forest resources for their daily subsistence.
Visitors need to obtain official permits before entering the park and should arrange transportation through local operators for access to hiking trails.
The north-south orientation of the Birougou Mountains creates specific climate patterns that support distinct plant and animal populations within the park zones.
