Jebel El Dair

Jebel El Dair National Park (JADNP): covers a total area of 315,460 km2, falls within the northern limits of the dry savannah woodland – grassland. Its annual rainfall ranges between 250 mm and 600 mm starting at late May with a peak in August and diminishes towards the end of October. Jebel EL Dair, as the name designates, appears from a distance as a bunch of mountain tops, clustering in a circular form, with several peaks of varying heights, some of which rise up to over 1400 meters above sea level. The PA contains a variety of habitats in four distinct biophysical environments with their specific fauna and flora, including the Higher elevation slopes and escarpments (at 900 to 1424 m), fawas or enclosed flat plains between the grouping humps and peaks of the massif (at 900- 1200 m), upland valleys and streams (at 800- 1200 m and the lower slopes down the foot hills (at 500-800 m). Jebel El Dair became a biosphere reserve in 2016.  The only remaining intact natural forests in the eastern part of North Kordofan are found in JADNP. Most of the population living around JADNP depend on the resources of the park (the mountain in particular). The resources include wood, grazing pasture, medicinal and aromatic plants and grasses, fruits and honey, and bush meat.[1] The majority gets these from the core zone (the mountain), with smaller numbers getting these from around the mountain.

  1. This is inspired! I’m glad I spotted your post as it’s better
    than similar blogs I’ve read from most other bloggers about this subject.
    May I ask you to clarify some things? Perhaps provide another example?
    many thanks!

  2. Woah! I’m enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appeal. I must say you’ve done a very good job with this.
