Mauritania has a number of sites in the country where the plant and animal biological diversity is conserved in situ. This page gives information on and links to those sites. However in situ conservation is not limited to the national parks and reserves. Efforts are also made outside the strict boundaries of the parks, e.g.the GREZOH programme (see below). |
