Azagny National Park is situated 100 km due west of Abidjan. The vegetation of the park is varied and mostly comprises swamps of various types, which cover two-thirds of the park, swamp-forest, inundated riverine forest, relatively small amounts of moist evergreen forest on areas of higher ground, and mangrove. There is also some littoral savanna woodland. Azagny was originally created a protected area in 1981 (Pullan 1988) in part for the conservation of forest elephants (''Loxodonta africana'') and forest buffaloes (''Syncerus caffer''), both of which occur in good numbers, benefiting from the protection of the swamps. Other mammals of global conservation concern include olive colobus (''Procolobus verus''), white-thighed colobus (''Colobus vellerosus''), white-naped mangabeys (''Cercocebus lunulatus''), Roloway’s monkeys (''Cercopithecus roloway''), and slender-snouted crocodiles (''Crocodylus cataphractus'') (BirdLife International 2019).
