Sylvo-Pastoral and Partial Faunal Reserve of the Sahel

The Sylvo-Pastoral and Partial Faunal Reserve spans 16,000 square kilometers across Burkina Faso, containing temporary lakes and diverse wildlife habitats.

The reserve was established in 1970 as part of Burkina Faso's initiative to protect critical ecosystems and wildlife populations in the Sahel region.

Local communities around the reserve maintain traditional practices while participating in environmental conservation efforts through sustainable resource management.
