Togo - Kéran National Park and the Oti-Mandouri Wildlife Reserve

The Kéran National Park and the Wildlife Reserve form a complex of 310,640 ha and are part of the operating system of the Park W (Niger) complex and associated areas of about 5,000,000 ha. These entities are natural areas within which the conservation of biological diversity is carried out. They offer the splendid spectacle of a perfect symbiosis between a flora of rare beauty, a wide range of terrestrial animals, aquatic and birds, a relief reflecting variations of altitudes, and a well-supplied hydrographic network. Geomorphologically, the area is settled in a peneplain dissected by Precambrian rocks and granites (Boateng, 1970). The Togo mountains follow the south-east of Kéran as to mark and reinforce the scenery. The hydrographic network is made up of two rivers: the Oti, swollen of rivers Oualé which has its source in Burkina Faso and Pendjari come from Benin, and the Koumongou.
