PONGARA

870 km ². Pongara Park runs along the left bank of the Komo estuary in front of Libreville. Large tracts of mangrove trees cover the waterfront side of the estuary, west of the park. The region has a varied coastal landscape, including mangroves, forests and coastal savanes. Despite its very high attendance, the park is still rich in wildlife, such as buffalo and small elephants of the forests (assala). In addition, each year from November to February, these beaches become the sanctuary of leatherback spawning.
