Nature

National parks, regional parks, nature reserves and conservation units protect the terrestrial and marine natural heritage in several countries in Africa. Conservation initiatives are part of traditions and culture in some African countries: sustainable access to the main natural sanctuaries of the continent generates jobs and income to local communities, in addition to financing the preservation of natural biodiversity and endangered species.
