Sudan
Wildlife occurs in protected areas and in fragmented habitats outside protected areas in desert, semi-desert, low rainfall savannah woodland, high rainfall savannah woodland and marine ecosystems. The number of many species has either declined or disappeared from many of their former habitats. There is no designated protected area representing fresh water ecosystems except the proposed Umgur wetland protected area.
