    The Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1981. The national park, located about 60 km northeast of Saint-Louis in the estuary of Senegal, is the third largest bird sanctuary in the world. Among the approximately 400 species in winter are the migratory birds of Europe, which meet here after crossing the Sahara on the first freshwater resources. In addition to a pelican colony, which counts more than 10,000 pelicans, also many other partially rare species are found here: flamingos, cormorants, crowned cranes, ospreys, storks and many more.
