Oasis of N'Gourma

The Oasis of N'Gourma is a lush, fertile area located in eastern Burkina Faso, within the Sahel region of West Africa. It serves as a vital agricultural hub, supporting local communities through farming and livestock grazing by providing water and greenery in an otherwise dry environment. The oasis is sustained by underground water sources that nourish its vegetation, making it a crucial resource for residents and wildlife alike. Its presence helps mitigate desertification effects and maintains local biodiversity, playing a key role in the region’s ecological and economic stability.
