    Extractions: Burkina Faso is a landlocked country in West Africa. It is bordered by Benin, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Niger, and Togo. The northern provinces lie in the Sahel , the belt of semi-arid land with low rainfall that fringes the Sahara desert. Here communities are frequently affected by cycles of drought and food shortage. During the dry season, permanent water sources are vital. Close to Burkina Faso's northern-most border there is a remarkable freshwater lake, the Mare d'Oursi, which is fringed by sand dunes. The lake is a magnet not only to local farmers, herders and livestock, but also to the many species of bird which migrate across the Sahara twice a year, breeding in Europe and spending winter in Africa. Many species of wading birds feed here on their journey, and sand martins and swallows can be seen passing through on their autumn migration. Further South the rainfall is heavier, supporting the small-scale farming which provides a livelihood for most of the population. Several national parks preserve the wooded grassland (or 'savannah') that once covered most of the country. The Pô and Nazinga reserves, and the Parc d'Arli and Parc du W (yes, it really is spelt like that!) provide a refuge for antelope, baboon, buffalo, elephant, hippopotamus, hyaena, leopard, lion, and warthog, as well as a wide variety of birds.

Most of Burkina Faso is very flat, but in the south-west there are rolling hills, tumbling waterfalls and dense woodlands. The country's second city and former capital, Bobo-Dioulasso, is perched on top of the spectacular rocky cliff of the Falaise de Banfora. This is the wettest part of the country, supporting rice fields and vast plantations of cashew nuts and sugar cane.
