About Complexe Kokorou-Namga
Kokorou-Namga Wetland is a Ramsar-listed Wetland of International Importance in Tillabéri Region of southwestern Niger, near the banks of the Niger River. The wetland complex covers the floodplains and seasonal lakes associated with the Niger River's inland delta zone in this section of the river's course through Niger. Designated as a Ramsar site for its exceptional importance as a waterbird breeding and feeding area, Kokorou-Namga represents one of the most significant freshwater wetland habitats in the western Sahel. The site provides critical dry-season resources for both migratory birds and resident wildlife in an increasingly arid landscape.
