The Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a large preserve in Uganda. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and has been since 1994. The park borders the Democratic Republic of Congo and is part of a larger region known as Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is about 82,000 acres large, or 128 square miles (330 sq. km). The park is home to an astounding diversity of creatures, and is one of the great remaining enclaves of biodiversity in east Africa. There are more than 300 species of birds, 200 species of butterflies, 30 species of amphibians, 120 species of mammals, and hundreds of species of trees and ferns represented in the park. Of these, a number are endemic, existing only within the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
