List of national parks of Niger

Niger is home to a number of national parks and protected areas, including two UNESCO-MAB Biosphere Reserves.

Further, fourteen sites also have international designations, applied by UNESCO and the Ramsar Convention on wetlands' protection.

Much of the legal framework of land management and protection is based on these original regulations.

As of the late 1990s, most land management was the area of the Nigerien Natural Resource Management Unit (Cellule de Gestion des Resources Naturelles) of the Inter-ministerial Sub-committee for Rural Development (Sous-Comité Interministériel chargé de la politique de Développement Rural au Niger), which includes ministries focused on environmental issues, industrial resource extraction, economic growth, and farming.

Actual protection is the responsibility of the DFPP's Fauna and Apiculture Management Service (Service d'Aménagement de la Faune et de l'Apiculture - SAFA) which in 1987 had only 40 staff actually managing or guarding sites.
