The Sanctuary exists to protect the critically endangered Addax, which once roamed much of the Aïr Mountains and Ténéré desert. Established 1 January 1988, the sanctuary IUCN type Ia[1] Strict Nature Reserve, the most restricted faunal reserve in Niger.
Plans in the early 1990s to reintroduce captive bred Addax into the sanctuary were derailed by the advent of the 1990s Tuareg insurgency, while reimplementation has been stopped by fighting which erupted in 2007.[2] As of 2006, it was feared that whatever Addax population remained in the sanctuary was no longer self-sustaining.[3]
