The Altos de Nsork National Park (Spanish: Parque nacional de Los Altos de Nsork) is found in Equatorial Guinea. It was established in 2000. The park covers 700 square kilometres (270 sq mi).[1] The area is bounded on the west side by the Abang River, and on the east and south by roads; there are few roads in the park.[2]
This park is home to many of the same wild animals that make it famous in the surrounding Gabonese forests, such as common chimpanzees, gorillas, black colobus, mandrills, forest buffaloes and red river pigs.[3]
