Greater Bouba Ndjidda and Sena Oura
Proportion of the area of the contribution comprising Key Biodiversity Areas: 14.1%
Spanning a total area of 650,000 hectares, the transboundary complex of binational BSB Yamoussa includes the Bouba Ndjida National Park (BNNP, 220,000 hectares) in Cameroon, and the Sena Oura National Park (SONP, 73,500 hectares) in Chad, over their respective peripheral zones that to say: 5 hunting areas around BNNP, one transition zone and one peripheral zone around the SONP. The initiative to support the management and protection of the transboundary complex of the protected areas BSB Yamoussa and its peripheral areas was taken following the events of large transboundary poaching occurred in 2012 in the Bouba Ndjida national park. Since then, several activities took place in both parks to improve the situation.
Potential conservation benefits in saving biodiversity
Potential reduction of species extinction risk resulting from threat abatement actions
The chart below represents the relative disaggregation of the selected contribution's total potential opportunity for reducing global species extinction risk through taking actions to abate different threats to species within its boundaries. The percentages refer to the amount of the total opportunity that could potentially be achieved through abating that particular threat.
