The Nyungwe National Park is located in southwestern Rwanda, on the border with Burundi. It represents an important area for rainforest conservation in Central Africa and is home to intact forests and peat bogs, moors, thickets and grasslands, providing habitats to a highly diverse flora and fauna. The Park also contains the most significant natural habitats for a number of species found nowhere else in the world, including the globally threatened Eastern Chimpanzee, Golden Monkey and the Critically Endangered Hills Horseshoe Bat. There are also 12 mammal and seven bird species that are globally threatened, and with 317 species of birds recorded, Nyungwe National Park is one of the most important sites for bird conservation in Africa.
