The Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary covering 16,000 ha, is located in the delta of the Senegal River, in the north-western part of the country. It is a vital and fragile sanctuary that shelters a million and a half migratory birds coming from Europe and Northern Asia. Pelicans, flamingos, herons and cranes, are just some of the 350 species that overwinter here. In 1981 it was acknowledged by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
