Termit Massif Reserve, Nature reserve in Zinder Region, Niger

The Termit Massif Reserve spans 100,000 square kilometers across desert and mountainous terrains, featuring black volcanic peaks and eroded black sandstone formations.

The Nigerien government established initial protections for 70,000 hectares in 1952, expanding to the current reserve status in March 2012.

The reserve territory intersects with traditional lands of nomadic Toubou and Tuareg peoples, who maintain settlements at Termit Kaoboul and Kandil Bouzou.

The reserve receives minimal rainfall of 100 millimeters annually, with precipitation concentrated between July and August during the West African monsoon season.

The protected area houses the last sustainable population of addax antelopes, with approximately 300 individuals residing within its boundaries.
