Logging is threatening Omo Forest Reserve in southern Nigeria, which is home to endangered wildlife like African elephants.
The government of Nigeria’s southwestern Ogun state, which owns the reserve, denied failing to enforce regulations. In a statement, it said it’s replanting more trees than are being cut down.
Besides problems with replanting, authorities don’t enforce tree removal standards, even when loggers get permits, according to forest guards, who are employed by the state government. “There has to be massive reforestation so that the conservation zone will not be dismantled,” Agboola said. The Nigerian economy, Africa’s largest, heavily relies on agriculture, forestry and other land uses. These industries, which are responsible for 25% of Nigeria’s greenhouse gas emissions, provide jobs for the majority of people in agrarian communities around the reserve.when livelihoods are at stake.
