Edumanom Forest Reserve, Protected forest reserve in Bayelsa State, Nigeria
The Edumanom Forest Reserve spans 9,324 hectares of freshwater swamp forest ecosystem within the Niger Delta region of southeastern Nigeria.
The reserve originated in 1970 when Rivers State Government designated it among 11 distinct regions, with official recognition under the Forestry Law of Eastern Nigeria.
The forest reserve inherited its name from the Edumanom family in Otuabagi, who maintain ownership of the largest portion of the protected land.
Visitors reach the forest through creeks and along oil pipelines due to limited road infrastructure, requiring essential items like compasses and jungle boots.
The reserve houses the last remaining Nigerian chimpanzee populations, alongside endemic species such as Sclater's guenon and Niger Delta red colobus.
