Bambara Maoudé or Bambara Maoundé is a village and rural commune of the Cercle of Gourma-Rharous in the Tombouctou Region of Mali. The commune contains 44 villages and had a population of 16,874 in the 2009 census.
The commune includes Lake Banzena (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) which serves as an important source of water for the Gourma elephants at the end of the dry season (April to June).[2] The intense competition between elephants and cattle at the lake led to the death of 21 elephants in 2010. As a result, the World Bank is coordinating efforts to provide alternative sources of water for the cattle so that the elephants can have exclusive access to the lake.[3]
