Shisiwani National Park (French: Parc National Shisiwani) is a national park along the Sima Peninsula in the eastern Comoros.[1] It includes marine, coastal, and terrestrial areas along the western arm of the island of Anjouan. Its creation was announced in 2016 as part of a government effort to protect 25% of the Comoros by 2021.
