Startoff Project WAP

The WAP complex is the largest continuous region of protected areas in West Africa. It is located in the border region of Burkina Faso, Benin and Niger. There has been a lot of research going on in the area in the past decades, but also ecotourism activities, so there may be a lot of observations around.

We recently started a series of guides, that may be useful for determination:
