Omo Forest Reserve, Protected rainforest reserve in Ogun State, Nigeria
The Omo Forest Reserve spans 130,500 hectares of tropical rainforest with flat terrain and rolling hills forming part of the Omo River watershed.
The British colonial administration established Omo Forest Reserve in 1925 to regulate timber resources before shifting focus toward biodiversity protection.
Local communities near the reserve maintain traditional practices of sustainable forest resource management, contributing to long-term conservation efforts.
Visitors can access the reserve through guided tours from Ijebu Ode, located 80 kilometers west, with opportunities for wildlife observation and hiking.
The reserve contains a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve section of 640 hectares, housing over 200 tree species and a population of forest elephants.
