The Sylvo-Pastoral and Partial Faunal Reserve of the Sahel in Gorom-Gorom, Burkina Faso, is a significant protected area in the Sahel region. This reserve plays a vital role in the conservation of both flora and fauna, offering a unique habitat for a variety of species adapted to the arid and semi-arid climate of the region. It supports traditional pastoral activities, providing grazing land for livestock, which is essential for the livelihoods of local communities. The reserve also serves as a sanctuary for wildlife, including several endangered species, and is an important site for biodiversity research and conservation efforts in Burkina Faso.
