Between desert and ocean lies a haven for millions of migratory birds.
Each year, more than two million birds find refuge in Banc d’Arguin National Park in Mauritania, one of the world’s most important habitats for migratory shorebirds.
Along its vast sand dunes, shallow coastal waters and islands, birds travelling across continents find vital places to feed, rest and gather before continuing their journey.
Recognized as a UNESCO
#WorldHeritage site, Banc d’Arguin is a reminder that these extraordinary journeys depend on the protection of places along the way.
