Akure Ofosu Forest Reserve, Protected forest reserve in Ondo State, Nigeria.
The Akure Ofosu Forest Reserve spans 39,496 hectares of tropical rainforest between latitudes 7°16' and 7°18' North and longitudes 5°9' and 5°11' East.
The Nigerian government established this forest reserve in 1936 to preserve the natural ecosystem and maintain regional biodiversity within the Ondo State boundaries.
Local communities near the forest reserve obtain essential resources including chewing sticks, fruits, nuts, honey, fuel wood, and leaves for their daily needs.
The reserve functions as a research site for scientists studying rainforest ecosystems, primate behavior, and conservation methods in West African protected areas.
Research teams discovered 33 chimpanzee nests across four locations within the reserve, confirming its role as a habitat for endangered Nigerian primates.
