From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Siniaka-Minia National Park is located in the regions of Guéra and Moyen-Chari in Chad. It was established as an IUCN Category IV area in 1965 covering an area of 4,260 km2 (1,640 sq mi), due its importance for preserving black rhinoceros.[1][2] Siniaka-Minia has been managed by the nonprofit conservation organization African Parks since 2017 in partnership with Chad's government following the success of the African Parks partnership in Zakouma National Park.
