The Niger River Basin is the largest continental wetland in West Africa and the second for Africa after the Okavango Delta in Botswana. It is an important area of biological diversity with a high number of animal species and aquatic plants living in terrestrial (flood plains) and aquatic (rivers and lakes) ecosystems. It is a refuge for many migratory birds and a reproduction site for manatees.
