Campo Ma'an National Park, natural park in Cameroon
Campo Ma'an National Park is a protected natural area in southwestern Cameroon that encompasses forests, wetlands, and coastal habitats. The park protects diverse wildlife including elephants, buffalo, antelopes, and numerous bird species, along with extensive mangrove forests and woodland ecosystems.
The area was established as a national park to protect the region's threatened natural environment and wildlife. It has been on the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage status, reflecting its global conservation importance.
The park is located in a remote area with limited infrastructure, so careful planning is important. Visitors should hire local guides and check the best season for wildlife viewing and safe travel through the park's trails.
The park serves as a transition zone where forest ecosystems meet coastal habitats, creating an unusual ecological meeting point. This overlap makes it a place where visitors can encounter species from different environments within a single location.
