Lété Island, River island in Tanda, Niger
The island stretches for 16 kilometers along the Niger River, featuring fertile soil and natural vegetation that supports local agriculture and grazing.
The territory sparked a border dispute between Niger and Benin dating back to French colonial times, leading to an International Court ruling in 2005.
The island holds importance for Puel cattle herders who utilize its grasslands during dry seasons for their traditional pastoral activities.
Access to the island requires boat transportation, with regular services connecting it to the nearby town of Gaya, located 40 kilometers away.
The island contains multiple ecological zones that change dramatically between wet and dry seasons, affecting local farming and herding patterns.
