Bakossi Forest Reserve, Protected rainforest reserve in Southwest Region, Cameroon.
The Bakossi Forest Reserve spans 5,517 square kilometers across mountainous terrain, featuring dense cloud forests and numerous waterways in western Cameroon.
Established in 1956, the reserve underwent major changes in 2000 when authorities designated its main section as a protection forest and banned all logging activities.
The Bakossi people maintain strong connections to the forest through traditional leadership systems that support conservation efforts and manage natural resources.
Visitors need permits from local authorities to access the reserve, and guides from nearby villages can lead tours through designated walking paths.
Mount Kupe within the reserve documents 329 bird species, including the Mount Kupe bushshrike found nowhere else in the world.
