Manovo-Gounda St Floris

Manovo-Gounda St Floris, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Central African Republic, is a vast savanna park renowned for its rich biodiversity and ecological significance. Home to iconic species like black rhinoceroses, elephants, leopards, and red-fronted gazelles, it straddles two ecological zones, blending East and West African savanna species with southern forest communities. Inscribed in 1988 for its natural wealth, it has been on the List of World Heritage in Danger since 1997 due to poaching and security threats, yet it remains a critical refuge for studying environmental changes in the Sahel and Sudan regions.
