Tadres Reserve

The Tadres Reserve extends across 788,928 hectares through the regions of Agadez, Tahoua, and Zinder, featuring seasonal riverbeds and desert landscapes.

During the 1940s, the reserve functioned as a primary migration path for wildlife moving from the Tenere desert toward the southern Adar region of Niger.

Local communities maintain traditional practices of seasonal livestock movement through the reserve, reflecting long-established patterns of resource management in the region.

The reserve operates under IUCN category IV guidelines, focusing on habitat management and species protection while allowing regulated access for research activities.

The Tadres valley contains seasonal water channels known as Koris, which create temporary habitats for Dorcas gazelles and various desert-adapted species.
