Travelers should treat nature in Niger as fragile and scarce: stay on established tracks, avoid disturbing wildlife, and never leave litter or take plants, stones, or fossils from protected areas. In the Sahara and Sahel, many communities also see wells, grazing land, and certain groves as shared resources, so ask before entering or photographing around them and follow local guides closely in reserves like the
Aïr and Ténéré.
