Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Kéran

Several environmental factors influence mosquito populations in Kéran National Park. Key contributors include:
  • Rainfall: Increased precipitation creates breeding sites.
  • Temperature: Warm temperatures accelerate mosquito life cycles.
  • Vegetation: Dense foliage provides resting areas.
The park's proximity to the Oti River also means mosquitoes thrive near water bodies. Additionally, human activities such as farming near the park boundaries can increase stagnant water pools, further supporting mosquito breeding. Understanding these factors helps visitors anticipate peak mosquito times. For more on local ecology, visit the Togo Wildlife Conservation page.
