Mandelia Faunal Reserve is a natural animal reserve located in the floodplains between the Chari and Logone rivers, south of the Chadian capital, N'Djamena. The reserve gets flooded when the Chari and Logone rivers overflow during the rainy season and is characterized by its dense vegetation of savanna forests.
There are many species of mammals and birds in the reserve, the most important of which are elephants and Kob antelopes. The reserve suffers greatly from the pressures of poaching, in addition to illegal grazing and farming.
