Located in northeastern Côte d'Ivoire, this natural site encompasses a vast protected area centred around the Comoé River and its associated ecosystems. The park preserves diverse habitats including savanna, woodland, and riverine forests that support a significant variety of wildlife species across multiple ecological zones. Its landscape is characterized by the river's meandering course through relatively undisturbed terrain, creating distinct ecological gradients from aquatic to terrestrial environments. The site represents an important refuge for large mammal populations and serves as a crucial corridor for fauna movement across the region. The inscription recognizes the park's role in maintaining natural processes and biodiversity within the West African landscape, particularly in its representation of transitional ecosystems between different biogeographical zones.
