The Hadejia Wetlands National Park in north-western Nigeria is a vital ecological treasure, designated as both a globally important wetland (Ramsar site) and an Important Bird Area, a site recognised internationally for conserving birds.
Spanning 297km², the Hadejia Wetlands National Park is a mosaic of woodlands, wetlands and seasonally flooded marshes. It provides refuge for thousands of resident and migratory birds and is a key breeding site for waterfowl that migrate from Europe and Asia in the winter to sub-Saharan Africa.
