Comoé National Park is one of the largest national parks in West Africa. It covers an area of 1,149,250 hectares in Côte d'Ivoire, and is rich in plant diversity. The Comoé river flowing through the national park allows plants that usually grow further south to be found there.

Comoé National Park was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site during the 7th session of the World Heritage Committee held in Florence, Italy on 5-9 December, 1983.

Comoé National Park was added to the List of World Heritage in Danger in 2003 due to serious concern over the potential impacts of civil unrest on the integrity of the national park, in addition to the decrease in large mammal populations there caused by increased and uncontrolled poaching. The World Heritage Committee also pointed out the lack of effective management mechanisms to address the concerns.
