Ruvubu National Park
A river corridor connects wooded savanna, gallery forest and wetland.
The story behind the place
Ruvubu National Park follows the river of the same name in north-eastern Burundi. Wooded savanna surrounds stretches of gallery forest and marsh. These habitats contribute to flood regulation and sediment trapping, connecting local biodiversity with the wider river basin. The landscape shows how conservation can protect both habitats and hydrological processes.
