Diéfoula Forest
Protected forest in Burkina Faso
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diéfoula Forest is a protected forest in Burkina Faso. It is located in Comoé Province in the western portion of the country, near the border with Ivory Coast. It became a protected area in 1937, and has been merged with the nearby Logoniégué Forest to form the Forêt Classée et Réserve Partielle de Faune de la Comoé-Léraba or AGEREF/CL. It is part of a connected cross-border protected area with the Ivorian Warigué protected area and Comoé National Park.[1][2]
