PARK W - NIGER
PARK W
The long-term preservation and protection of the Park W can only be achieved with active participation and engagement with local communities and local authorities.
Agriculture is the main livelihood for local communities, and limited space is the main issue faced by local populations. On the outskirts of Park W, 30,000 hectares are occupied by local communities for agricultural production and livestock, therefore we need to prioritise the prevention of human-wildlife conflict situations - as well as the creation of alternative and more sustainable livelihoods.

To build this partnership over the long term, WAC will focus on education, economic impact and protecting and restoring the environment. Our aim is to provide quality education that will support economic and social transformation while raising awareness of environmental issues.
