Postcard from Sudan.

              Dinder National Park,Sudan.

It is a national park and biosphere reserve in eastern Sudan, on the Sudanese border with Ethiopia. The adjacent Ethiopian counterpart is Alatash National Park.

The area of Dinder was heavily populated when it was first visited by Europeans in 1861. In the 1880s, at the time of the Mahdist War and a famine, the human population vanished. Alfred Harrison found only traces of human habitation in 1925.  Dinder was established as a park in 1935 following the London Convention of 1933 and designated in 1979 as a member of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves. 

It finds a place in UNESCO Tentative List since 2004
