Îles Ehotilés National Park

關於

Îles Ehotilé National Park is a national park of the Ivory Coast in the Sud-Comoé region. The park consists of a group of low islands and the intervening channels that separate Aby Lagoon from the Atlantic Ocean.

The national park was established in 1974 on the initiative of the local communities who wished to protect their historical sites. The Ehotile Islands were designated a Ramsar site in 2005 under the name Îles Ehotilé-Essouman, and a proposal was submitted to UNESCO for consideration of the site as a World Heritage Site in 2006. The archaeological and historical sites on the islands are also protected.
