Tai National Park (Côte d'Ivoire) Type du document Décision Numéro de référence VI.38 Date Jui 7, 1991 SourceUNEP, InforMEA Statut active Sujet Espèces sauvages et écosystèmes Traité Convention concernant la protection du patrimoine mondial, culturel et naturel (Nov 23, 1972) Réunion 15e session du Bureau Site web whc.unesco.org Résumé The Bureau noted with satisfaction that this Park benefitted from strong support of German and WWF co-operation for research and conservation of the site, and in the future, incorporation of its peripheral zones in an integrated development plan. But the site was under threat from poachers and from the arrival in the area of refugees from Liberia. Consequently the Bureau wished to encourage the Côte d'Ivoire's partners to back up the existing project by making use of the work already done by the Tai research station in the context of UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere project (MAB).
