Comoé National Park is a national park in Côte d'Ivoire as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since its inscription in 1983. It was initially added due to the diversity of plant life present around the Comoé River. In 2003 it was added to the list of World Heritage Sites in Danger due to poaching, over-grazing of the park by cattle, and absence of management.
