World Heritage Sites in Cameroon


Dja Faunal Reserve

(3.25 N 13.16 E) -- satellite image

This is one of the largest and best-protected rainforests in Africa, with 90% of its area left undisturbed. Almost completely surrounded by the Dja river, which forms a natural boundary, the reserve is especially noted for its biodiversity and a wide variety of primates. It contains 107 mammal species, five of which are threatened.
