Badiar lies at the transition between savanna and forested areas characterized by a mosaic of savanna, wooded savanna, open forests and gallery forests (WCF 2012, UNESCO MAB 2011). Two main rivers run through the area, the Koulountou and the Mitji. Areas around the rivers are occasionally inundated (BirdLife International 2019). Along parts of the rivers areas of palm trees can be found (BirdLife International 2019, WCF 2012). The average annual rainfall at the site is 1,000–1,500 mm (BirdLife International 2019).

An inventory of the flora and fauna of Badiar National Park found several plant and animal species listed by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, including leopard (''Panthera pardus''), lion (''Panthera leo''), hippopotamus (''Hippopotamus amphibius''), African wild dog (''Lycaon pictus''), African python (''Python sebae'') and Nile crocodile (''Crocodylus niloticus'', Bailo et al. 2009). A biodiversity survey of Badiar in 2010 found a high density of ungulates, including harnessed bushbuck (''Tragelaphus scriptus'') and kob (''Kobus kob''), as well as a relatively high density of signs of carnivores, for example leopard (WCF 2012). Primate species that have been confirmed present in the park in addition to western chimpanzees include Guinea baboons (''Papio papio''), patas monkey (''Erythrocebus patas''), diana monkey (''Cercopithecus diana''), spot-nosed monkey (''Cercopithecus petaurista''), and western red colobus (''Piliocolobus badius'', Bailo et al. 2009, Brugière & Kormos 2009, WCF 2012). Badiar is also classified an important bird area (BirdLife International 2019).
