Description

Data entered from an Engineer thesis that inventoried birds in National Park of Pendjari, in northen of Benin territory. The data were collected in 2004 and were mobilised in the framework of the project BID-AF2015-0044-SMA. The main point of this study was to collect all informations about them and to complete them with the inventory of mammals, birds and reptiles in order to propose the census sites as future Ramsar’s sites. Data were collected on some sites as : sacred’s ponds (mare sacrée), Diwouni’s pond, Tiabiga’s pond, Fogou’s pond and Bori’s pond, Bondjagou forest and Pendjari’s (Porga and Arly) and Magou’s rivers (Porga and flooded plain).
