In late January 2021,750 Great white pelicans were found dead in the Djoudj bird sanctuary, a remote pocket of wetlands and a UNESCO World Heritage site in northern Senegal, which provide a rest stop for millions of migratory birds every year. This was followed by the death of 1642 pelican chicks and two dozen adult pelicans in Diawling National Park in Mauritania bordering northern Senegal, which hosts over 250 bird species. According to national authorities, these deaths were attributed to the outbreak of the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI).

Some 245 pelican chicks and a further 24 adults have died from H5N1 bird flu in a Mauritanian national park that borders northern Senegal.
The birds' bodies were discovered in Diawling National Park's protected wetlands, which sit on the Mauritanian side of the Senegal River delta and host more than 250 species of birds. In response to the outbreak, the authorities have closed the park and suspended all tourism activities in the area, the ministry said in a statement.
