SalamatSalamat is one of the 14 prefectures of Chad. Located in the southeast of the country, Salamat covers an area of 63,000 square kilometers and has a population of 184,403 (as of 1993). Its capital is Am Timan. Salamat's population is a mix of both Muslim and non-Muslim peoples. In the late 1960s, a highly regarded wildlife reserve was destroyed by rebels, although many native wildlife specimens survived, including elephants and giraffes. The area included some of the only water sources that remained available through the ten-month dry season.
