About us
Dakar, Senegal – WWF, in partnership with several West African regional environmental organizations, has donated two patrol boats to protect marine parks in Guinea Bissau. The two boats, built in neighbouring Senegal as part of a West African coastal zone and marine regional conservation programme, are to be used in the João Vieira-Poilão and Orango National Parks, both located in Guinea Bissau’s Bijagos Biosphere Reserve. Along with the three patrol boats provided by WWF’s Western African Marine Ecoregion to the Banc d’Arguin National Park in Maurtania in 1999, the two national parks in Guinea Bissau are the first marine protected areas (MPA) in West Africa to have access to such state-of-the-art boats.
