Kainji National Park

Kainji National Park is a national park in Niger State and Kwara State, Nigeria.[1] Established in 1978, it covers an area of about 5,341 km2 (2,062 sq mi).[2][3] The park includes three distinct sectors: a part of the Kainji Lake in which fishing is restricted, the Borgu Game Reserve to the west of the lake, and the Zugurma Game Reserve to the southeast.[4]

Due to insecurity in the region, the National Parks Service temporarily suspended operations and research in the Kainji National Park in 2021, operations were also suspended in the Chad Basin National Park and the Kamuku National Park.[5]

Plan to restore Kainji Lake National Park underway[6]

[7]West African Conservation Network, a Nigeria/United Kingdom-based organisation, focused on environmental and wildlife conservation, has begun collaboration with the Nigeria National Park Service to restore the Kainji Lake National Park.

The international organization and the Federal Government of Nigeria signed a 31-year co-management agreement on October 27, 2023, to protect and restore the park in northwestern Nigeria.

The WACN Kainji Lake National Park Project aims to overcome current security challenges and enhance the park within the next decade through strategic partnerships.
