Wildlife Reserve Protected faunal reserve conserving Central African wildlife

The Nana Barya Faunal Reserve is a protected area in the Ouham prefecture of the Central African Republic set aside for wildlife conservation. It forms part of the country’s network of reserves intended to conserve fauna and habitats.

Designated as a faunal reserve to protect wildlife and ecological values, management has focused on conservation goals within the broader context of the Central African Republic’s protected-area system. On-the-ground protection and monitoring vary with regional conditions.

Located in Ouham prefecture in the northwestern interior of the Central African Republic, the reserve sits within the country’s savanna and woodland landscapes and is remote from major urban centres.
